THE ANATOMY OF TURKISH POLITICS FROM MEMORANDUM TO COUP IN İSMAİL CEM’S WORLD OF THOUGHT
Abstract
Born in the year of 1940, İsmail Cem graduated from Robert College in Istanbul in 1959 and then, from the Faculty of Law at Lausanne University in 1963. In 1981, he completed his postgraduate studies in the Department of Political Sociology at the Faculty of the Paris Institute of Political Studies (Sciences Po). In spite of an educational life shaped by the intellectual environment of Western scho-ols, he never lost interest in the Republic of Türkiye. He has been prominently involved in everyday politics. He also focussed on the history of Türkiye. In his texts written in the 1970s, he emphasised that Türkiye had ceased to be a one-political-party-ruled-nation. He argued that a change in the mode of production would give the social structure a progressive character and pave the way for a social de-mocratic government. He considered the CHP (Republican People's Party) Government as a solid mani-festation of the formation of a strong social base for the leftist movement. Nevertheless, he argued that because of Ecevit's failure to implement a social democratic model, the possibility of the democratic regime being interrupted by a military coup was increasing day by day.
