Describes how all five Turkish constitutions were, by and large, the products of indigenous effort, although borrowing could be felt in certain limited areas. Argues that the constitutional reforms in the post-1983 period were the outco me of broad inter-party negotiations and agree ments as a response to the society's demands for a more democratic and liberal political system.

With these reforms, Turkey was successful in meeting the political criteria and started accession negotiations with the EU.DemocratizationTurkeyConstitutional historyTurkeyTurkeyPolitics and government1980-Constitutions, European Union, Late 20th century, Political parties.DemocratizationConstitutional history320.9561Özbudun Ergun570554Gençkaya Ömer Faruk1583883MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778008203321Democratization and the politics of constitution-making in turkey3867362UNINA
