Studies of democratization in the 1980s and 1990s after the
second-wave of military regimes across the world investigated the
process from various angles, each focusing on its specific
dimensions and actors. This study analyzes the Turkish experience
of re-democratization preceded by a relatively short military
regime (1980-1983) from the perspective of political parties. It
deals with both the trajectory of democratization and the
reconstruction of political parties as institutions. Turkish
democratization has turned out to be a protracted process extending
into the late 1990s-and even continuing today--, and it has
unfolded through a series of political reforms. While the Turkish
military has retained its tutelary and supervisory role, political
parties emerged as the critical actors in the reform process. This
study looks closely into the identities and strategies of Turkey's
major political parties and party elites who held power in the
first decade after the transition from military rule. It analyzes
how parties have met the double challenge of institutionalizing and
of democratizating the political system amidst internal and
external pressures.
