A New Government System in Turkey: Presidential Government System

Abstract

The proposed system change, which has been the subject of discussion for many years, reached a conclusion with the referendum held on 16 April 2017. It can be argued that the presidential government system Turkey adopted can be regarded as a Turkish-type presidential system that is not precisely similar to any government system in the world. There are a large number of critics as well as supporters of the new system which has made fundamental changes in Turkish public administration. In this paper, firstly, information about parliamentary, presidential and semi-presidential government systems common among the democratic countries of the world will be presented. Later on, the basic features of the Turkish presidential government system, its pioneering developments and recent changes will be extensively examined. This study reveals that with the new government system, Turkey can have significant momentum in various policy areas which make it possible to achieve its targets for 2023.
