Objectives of the Course
|
This course examines fundamental issues related to Türkiye's administrative structure with a comprehensive framework. It first addresses the forms of administration in Turkey from the late Ottoman Empire to the Republic of Türkiye and the changes they underwent. Then, it examines the presidency, ministries, provincial units, and other centrally and locally operating entities in the contemporary Turkish Republic. The course investigates the functions of these institutions, their powers, and their positions within the administrative structure. The course objective also covers the examination of current debates on the discipline vis-à-vis the new public administration approach, governance reforms, decentralization, public-private partnerships, anti-corruption policies, and other issues and problems of importance in the Turkish administrative structure.
The course examines Turkey's administrative structure in a multidisciplinary manner. Topics are addressed within the multi-dimensionality of political science, economics, sociology, history, and other social sciences. In this way, the course aims to examine the whereabouts and evolution of the field comprehensively. The course will not rely solely on textbooks and articles. While reading book chapters and articles forms the basis of learning in the classroom, watching and discussing films related to the topics, listening to guest speakers, and examining the websites and reports of public institutions will be other learning tools.
