Abstract
Elite concept have
changed day by day, that is, democratic institutions have changed. In the
context of local governments, firstly there was an elite logic based on land
and lineage, and then developed an economic power based elite understanding.
Subsequent democratization resulted in political elites or democratic elites.
For a long time in Turkey has not been able to talk about the local elite.
However, the fact that the local elections took place in a democratic
environment in 1963 led to the emergence of a new power against the center and
other power centers or the political transformation of the existing forces.
Having a say in the political sphere has also turned into a cause of elitism.
He also added a large number of groups of elites close to the elite, a group of
noble, deep-rooted and rich groups who were part of the urban identity. The
main objective of the study was to determine the changes that took place within
the scope of law numbered 6360 and reveals the changes brought about by the law
in the context of the local elite in Turkey. In doing so, the elite concept was
elaborated and the historical development of the concept of political elite and
its reflections were discussed. Subsequently, the status of local governments
in Turkey and the size and scope of change in the local elite as a result of
the law was drawn up by explaining the Law No. 6360. With the conclusion and
evaluation part, the problems and solution suggestions were made by revealing
the positive and negative acpects that this situation created for Turkish local
democracy.
