Social government approach has put new burdens on the government, that is, public management's service responsibilities have extended. This new paradigm has caused the growth in public budgets, which in turn, led to budget deficits. The government has sought new approaches in order to handle and cope with increased public works.The needs of cities that witnessed rapid growth and the people who live these cities have significantly increased and extended over the years. The existing management, resources and service techniques have been lagging behind and do not suffice the needs of cities and public. Therefore, new resources and techniques need to be explored. One and the foremost of these resources and techniques is so-called "privatization "The privatization has long been on the agenda of some western countries since 1970s. However, it is only since 1980s in our country that privatization started getting the public attention and has been on recent government agendas.Our focus on this research has been placed on the "privatization" subject, which is a technique employed by the municipalities in order to provide services to public better and more effective way. This dissertation consists of six chapters. In chapter 1, definition of public works, services, their features, and the way public services are provided with and by are explored.In chapter 2, development of municipality works and services, the concept of municipality organizations, today's municipalities' organizational structures and their audition are investigated.In chapter 3, privatization concept, theories and approaches on privatization, different privatization techniques along with the causes that led to privatization issues have been scratched off. In chapter 4, recent privatization examples and applications are presented. Under this subtitle, privatization applications that have been undertaken in USA, UK and Germany are presented.In chapter 5, privatization of municipalities' services and a privatization application in Metropolitan City of Bursa are touched upon.In the last chapter, the outcomes of privatization and possible problems that may arise after privatization issues are argued and evaluated.
Bu çalışma siyasal iktidar ve meşruiyet arasındaki ilişkiyi ve siyasal iktidarın kendisine toplumsal rıza arayışını siyasi düşünceler literatürü bağlamında incelemektedir. Çalışma, siyasal iktidar ve meşruiyet ilişkisinde ortaya atılan tanımlar ve eleştiriler üzerine yoğunlaşmaktadır. Çalışma, meşruiyetin; statükonun haklılaştırılması, kendi dışındakileri olumsuzlaması ve toplumun siyasal, sosyal ve ekonomik olarak yeniden kurulması fonksiyonlarını tartışmaktadır. Bu çalışma, siyasal iktidar geleneğinin kendisini meşrulaştırmak için kullandığı yöntemleri de ele almaktadır. ; The study analyzes the relationship between the most important concepts of political science, political power and legitimacy and evahlates the phases, deflnitions and critiques of legitimacy in the history of political thought. it examines the political power's pursuit of social obedience before and after the theories of the modern state. The function of legitimacy and the relationship between political power and society are discussed. These functions consist of the legitimizaüon and justification of the statü s quo, the creation and exclusion of the "others", and thereconstnıction of the society in terms of social, economic and political engineering. The study, in detail, examines and criticizes the means that the legitimacy resorts to justify the political power.
Demokrasilerde yerel yönetimler demokratik yaşamın vazgeçilmez öğelerinden biri olarak görülmektedir. Temsili demokrasilerde karar alma sürecini politikacılar, seçmenler ve bürokratlar oluşturmaktadır. Yozlaşma ise bu karar alma sürecinde kamu aleyhine özel çıkar sağlama sürecini ifade etmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, yerel yönetim birimlerinin karar alma sürecinde kişisel çıkar sağlamak amacıyla politik aktörler (politikacılar, seçmenler, çıkar gurupları,bürokratlar) tarafından, mevcut hukuki, ahlaki ve diğer normların ihlal edilmesini kapsayan politik yozlaşmayı ve topluma maliyetini ortaya koymaktır. Günümüzde birçok ülkede olduğu gibi ülkemizde de merkezi hükümette ve yerel yönetimlerde kuraldışı uygulamalar yasal düzenlemelerin yerini almıştır. Bu durum toplumların karşı karşıya olduğu siyasal ekonomik ve sosyal bir hastalıktır. Politik aktörler bu süreçte yozlaşma ağının bir parçası olarak hareket etmektedir. Sonuçta karar alma sürecinin siyasi, ekonomik, ve sosyal sebeplerle çıkar amaçlı olarak işlemesi, toplumda yolsuzluk faaliyetlerini rant kollama faaliyetlerini yaygınlaştırmakta her türlü yolsuzluğun ahlaksızlık sayılmadığı bir anlayış topluma egemen olmaktadır. Yerel halkın yaşam standardı ve yaşam kalitesi düşmekte. Bunun dışında yerel yönetimlerdeki politik yozlaşma, yerel halka birçok siyasi, sosyal, ekonomik ve ahlaki maliyet yüklemektedir. Günümüzde yerel yönetim birimlerinde özellikle belediyelerde yolsuzluk, rüşvet, kayırmacılık, ranta dayalı kent toprağının kullanımı, rant kollama, çıkar amaçlı görevi kötüye kullanama, plansız borçlanarak geleceği ipotek altına alama, her türlü kaynak israfı yaygın olarak görülmektedir. Yerel yönetimlerin mevcut konumu, halkın yerel demokrasi bilinci, yozlaşmayı önleyecek düzenlemeler göz ardı edilerek gerçekleştirilecek reform çalışmaları yerel yönetimleri yolsuzluğun ve kaynak israfının odağına itecektir. Bu çalışma, yerel yönetimlere daha fazla yetki, daha fazla kaynak söylemelerinin çok yaygın olduğu günümüzde aykırı görüş olarak, yerel yönetimlere yetki ve kaynak devrinin yerel katılım ve yerel demokrasi bilincinin gelişmesine, ekonomik kalkınmanın sağlanmasına, tüm ülke genelinde herkesin kabul ettiği asgari ahlaki değerlerin sağlanmasına, hukuk devleti anlayışının oluşmasına paralel olarak gerçekleştirilmesi gerektiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Local administrations are regarded as one of the main items in democracies.In represantative democracies ,politicians,voters and bureaucrats determine the period of taking decisions.But Corroption means providing private interests against public interests.The aim of this study is to reveal the political corroption which consists breaking the available juridical,moral and other norms by political actors (politicians,voters,illegal groups,bureaucrats)aiming to provide private interest during the local administrations' process of taking decisions. Today,in our country illegal applications in local administrations and central government replace the legal arrangements as in many other countries. This situation is a political,economic and social illness societies face.In this process political actors act as part of corroption. As a result, the process of taking decision depends on economic,political,and social reasons,and thus gives rise to private interest through corroption rent seeking facilities in society and a perception that every kind of degeneration is not considered as dishonest dominates the society.The living standards and quality of public is on decrease.Apart from that, political degeneration in local administrations puts a heavy political,social and economic burden on public Nowadays, in local administrations, particularly in municipalities,misuse of authority, bribery, privilege ,using local land for private interest, rent seeking unplanned debt causing future mortgage,extreme consumption of resources are widespread.The present situation of the local administration, public's conciousness of local democracy, arrangements preventing degeneration , reformations attempts that will be achieved by ignoring corroption arrangements will push the local administrations to the core of corroption and waste of resources. This study -against the idea that more authority and resources should be given to local administarations as many say- states that more authority and finance should be paralell with the improvements of public's democracy concious, economic development, common virtue accepted by the majority of the public and the idea of lawful states.
ÖZETTemsili demokrasiler arz, talep, ve kurumsal yapısındaki aksaklıklar nedeniyle etkin ekonomik sonuçlar üretmede başarısızlıklara uğrar. Bu başarısızlıklar, siyasal karar alma mekanizması devlet tarafından kontrol edildiği için birer devlet başarısızlığıdır.Günümüz toplumlarının çoğunda toplam ekonomik kaynakların önemli bir kısmı kamu kesimi tarafından kullanılmakta ve kontrol edilmektedir. Bu kullanım kamu kesimine zorunlu olarak aktarılan kaynaklar için son derece önemli bir sorun olarak karar alma sorununu ortaya çıkarmaktadır. Siyasal karar alma mekanizmasında alınan kararlar bireysel ve toplumsal refahı doğrudan etkilediği için, kararların etkin (efficient) ve uyumlu (consistent) olması gerekmektedir. Bu bir taraftan Marjinal Sosyal Maliyet ile Marjinal Sosyal Fayda'nın eşitliği; diğer taraftan da toplumun üretebilecekleri ile üretmek istediklerinin örtüşmesi demektir. Ancak temsili demokrasiler, başlıca seçmen, çıkar grupları, politikacı, bürokrat davranışları ve kurumsal yapı aksaklıkları nedeniyle bu örtüşmenin gerçeklenmesini engeller. Bu durumu destekleyen önemli yapılar ise, devletin özel malların üretimine doğru genişlemesi, kollektif faaliyet problemi, işlem maliyetleri, ve bilgi eksikliğidir.Temsili demokratik mekanizmalarda alınan ekonomik kararların etkinliği, başlıca, ekonomik faaliyetlere ilişkin fayda ve maliyet algılamaları ve özel mal/kamusal mal üretim yerlerinin ayrımı ile ilgilidir. Temsili demokrasilerin etkinsiz sonuçlara sebep olmasının nedeni arz, talep, ve kurumsal yapı kaynaklı aksaklıklar olduğu için çözüm önerileri de bu yapılardaki aksaklıkları hedef almalıdır. Bu bağlamda seçmen, çıkar grupları, politikacı, ve bürokrat davranışları ile kurumsal yapı üzerindeki iyileştirmeler son derece önemlidir. ABSTRACTRepresentative democracies can fail to achieve efficient outcomes because of the imperfections in the supply-side, demand-side, and institutional structure of the political decision-making mechanism. This failure, since the political decision making mechanism is controlled by the government, is a government failure.A substantial proportion of common resources is used and controlled by the public sector in today's many contemporary societies. This phenomena brings the decision-making issue as an important question for collective resources. Since they affect individual and social welfare, decisions resulted in the decision-making mechanism must be efficient and consistent. This, on the one hand, implies the equality of the Marginal Social Cost to Marginal Social Benefits; and implies the consistency between the capabilities and preferences of the society, on the other. However, the behaviors of voter, interest groups, politician, and bureaucrat; and the imperfections of institutional structure of representative democracies prevent to achieve this consistency. Other supporting structural elements for this assumption are the expansion of the government interventions to the area of private goods, the collective action problem, transaction costs, and informational problems.The efficiency of decisions held in the political decision making mechanism, mainly, depends upon the cost and benefit perceptions of economic activities, and the appropriation of the production types of private/collective goods.Since the failures of representative democrasies come from supply, demand, and institutions-side imperfections, solutions should be focusing on those imperfections. In this context, improvements on voter, interest groups, politician, bureaucrats, and institutional design have an outstanding importance.
ÖZETOrtadoğu, ortak din, ortak tarih ve kültüre sahip olduğumuz, köklü bir medeniyetin beşiğidir. Osmanlı bakiyesi olan Türkiye Orta Doğu politikalarında edilgen bir strateji uygulamakla tarihi, kültürel ve dini geleneğinden doğan ağırlığını hissetirememektedir. Kuşkusuz Orta Doğu'yu konu alacak bir çalışmanın her şeyden önce önüne açılan geniş alan ve sayısız yollardan birini tercih etmesi, alanını özelleştirmesi gerekiyor. Orta Doğu hakkında, tarihsel bir yaklaşımla çalışmaya karar verirken, genel bir çalışmadan veya dokümantasyondan ziyade Orta Doğu ile Türkiye arasındaki ilişkilere yön vermiş olan belli bir dönem üzerinde yoğunlaşmanın daha doğru olacağını düşündüm.Bu bağlamda, hem Türkiye'de önemli değişimlerin yaşanmasının işaretlerini vermesi açısından hem de 12 Eylül askeri yönetiminin hakim olması bakımından bu dönem tez çalışması yapmak için bana oldukça uygun gelmiştir. . Tabii bu dönem üzerinde çalışmak bu dönemden önceki uluslararası konjonktürün Türkiye'nin Orta Doğu ülkeleriyle ilişkilerine etkilerini de değerlendirmeye dahil etmeyi gerektiriyordu. Çünkü şu bir gerçek ki, her iki tarafın ilişkileri dünya sisteminin güçlü temsilcilerinden bağımsız gelişmemektedir. Arapları birleştirici bir rol oynadığı görüntüsü veren İsrail sorunu ise bölge ülkelerinin ilişkilerini daha da karmaşıklaştırmaktadır. 1980-1983 dönemi özellikle kendisinden sonraki dönemlerin dış politika araç ve parametrelerini belirlemesi açısından ne kadar önemli olduğu günümüzdeki gelişmelerden de anlaşılmaktadır. Örneğin bu dönemde İKÖ'yle girilen yakın ilişkiler ve bölge devletleriyle olan yakınlaşmalar 80'ler boyunca Türk Dış Politikasına yön verdiği gibi 90'ların iç politik ortam ve tartışmalarını hazırlamıştır. Kısaca belirtmek gerekirse Camp David barış antlaşması ve İsrail ile Arap ülkelerinin ilişkileri bu evrede yeni bir sürece girmiştir. S.S.C.B' nin Afganistan'ı işgali bu dönemde meydana geldi. Bu da Orta Doğu ülkelerinin S.S.C.B.'ye bakışlarını etkiledi. İran'daki İslam Devrimi, Orta Doğu ülkelerinin hakim rejimlerini korku ve tedirginliğe sevketmiş; bu dönemde başlatılan İran-Irak savaşı da bölge ülkelerinde farklı kaygı ve beklentiler doğurmuştur. Gene bu dönemde İsrail, Kudüs'ün Arap kesimini ilhak edecek ve bu da yeni bir gerginliğe neden olacaktır. Türkiye'de bir darbe olması, Enver Sedat'ın öldürülmesi gibi ilk elde sayabileceğimiz pek çok önemli olay meydana gelmiştir. Bütün bu saymaya çalıştığımız olaylar hem Türkiye'nin hem de bölge ülkelerinin dış ve iç politikalarını etkilemiştir. Yukarıda anlatmaya çalıştığım gibi o dönemi hem dış politika hem de iç politikaya etkileri açısından değerlendirmeye çalışırken; aynı zamanda bu etkilerin sonraki dönemlere uzanan sonuçlarını da değerlendirmeye çalışacağım. Bu bağlamda, devlet politikası olarak o döneme ne tür eleştirel yaklaşımlar sergilenmiş olduğunu da tahlil etmeye çalışacağım.ABSTRACTTURKEY'S FOREIGN POLICY AND THE MIDDLE EAST BETWEEN 1980 AND 1983Middle East is a kind of cradle which shares and accommodates common cultural and historical values with Turkey. Turkey, unfortunately, carry out more passive political strategies in the region whereas it is a country with a past of Ottoman Empire which was the central political, cultural and social actor of the region along centuries. But Turkey can not take the advantage of his rich experiences.In this thesis, the concentration point is the coup of September 12th in 1980. This military intervention is, at the same time, a turning point of Turkey's social and political life. Working on this period necessitates developing a different perspective through the near past of this area and the multilateral relations of regional actors. Indeed, it is a fact that Turkey and his regional partners' acts and operations in the region can not be independent from the real actors and representatives of world system. Even some critical events, like the problem of Israel, seemingly lead to the convergence of Arab countries, but in reality, confuse the relations of related countries in the region. Especially the period of 1980-1983 is a very important phase in terms of defining the political preferences and the directions of following years. For example, in that period, Turkey developed close relations with Organization of Islamic Conference and the countries of the region. These relations also affected the intra-political agenda of Turkey. On the one side, Turkish foreign policy (along 1980s), and the on the other side, intra-political agenda and discussions (specifically after1990s) have been shaped by these interactions with other Middle Eastern countries. If it is mentioned briefly, in this period, the process the Peace of Camp David and the relations between Arab countries and Israel have evolved towards new dimensions. The occupation of Afghanistan by USSR has happened at the same time and this new situation reshaped the views of Arab countries over the communist regime and USSR. Another radical event in the region was Iran-Islamic Revolution and this development also leads the regional countries to alarm and anxiety about the future of their prosperities. Additionally, at the same time again, Israel has occupied the Arabian side of the Jerusalem and caused a new international and regional tension. These years have also witnessed the assassination of Enver Sedat, the president of Egypt and military intervention in Turkey. All of these developments have influenced both of foreign and domestic policies of Turkey and other countries in the region. This thesis tries to analysis the state policies of Turkey through this chaotic term between 1980 and 1983.
ÖZETTezde 1980-2001 yılları arasında Türkiye'deki bütçe harcamalarının gelişimi üç bölüm halinde incelenmiştir. Birinci bölümde kamu harcamalarına ilişkin tanımlar ve yaklaşımlar ile kamu harcamalarının artışına etki eden çeşitli faktörlerden bahsedilmiştir. İkinci bölümde bütçe harcamaları ekonomik ve fonksiyonel sınıflandırmalara göre bir incelemeye tabi tutulmuştur. Ekonomik sınıflandırmaya göre incelediğimiz harcama türlerinden transfer harcamalarının alt kalemleri daha detaylı ele alınmış ve transfer harcamaları içerisinde yer alan faiz giderlerinin bütçe harcamaları içerisinde çok önemli bir yere sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Özellikle iç borç faiz ödemelerinin son yıllarda büyük sıçramalar gösterdiği ve toplam konsolide bütçe harcamalarının yarıdan fazlasını oluşturduğu tespit edilmiştir. İşlevsel ayrımda, ekonomik hizmet amaçlı kuruluşların harcamaları tek başlık altında incelenmiş ve ekonomik sınıflandırmada da yer alan faiz giderleri tekrar incelemeye alınmamıştır.Üçüncü bölümünde ise bahse konu sınıflandırma türlerine göre gelişimi incelenen bütçe harcamaları dönemsel analizlere tabi tutulmuştur. Bu analizde incelenen dönem iki ana gruba ayrılmıştır. Birinci ana grup askeri müdahale yılları olan 1980-1983 arası ile liberal ekonomi politikaların uygulandığı 1984-1990 arası dönem olarak iki alt gruba ayrılmıştır. Bu dönemlerin ilkinde bütçe harcamalarında bir azaltma gayreti olduğu, ikincisinde ise özellikle altyapı yatırım harcamaları dolayısıyla bir artma eğilimi ile fon uygulamalarının ilk defa görülmeye başlandığı yıllar olduğu görülmüştür. İkinci ana grup ise körfez krizi, ekonomik kriz, Marmara depremi gibi kriterlere göre, üç alt gruba ayrılmış ve yapılan incelemeler neticesinde bu dönemlerde de bütçe harcamalarında gittikçe belirginleşen artışların olduğu görülmüştür. SUMMARYIn the thesis, between 1980 and 2001 years, the developments of the budget expenditure in Turkey have been examined in three chapters. In the first chapter, it has been talked about the definitions and the opinions of the public expenditures, and different factors that effected the public expenditures. In the second chapter, the budget expenditures have been studied according to the economic and the functional classification. The sub parts of the transfer expenditures which concern with the expenditures of the economic classification have been examined more detailed and it has been seen that the interest expenditures which was included by transfer expenditures has a very important position in the budget expenditures. Especially it has been fixed that the internal debt interest payments have shown great increases in the last years and constituted more than half of the consolidated budget expenditures. In functional classification, the organizations that have aimed economic service, have been studied in one title and the interest payments which was also included in economic classification, hasn't studied in this chapter again. In the third chapter, the development of the expenditures that was studied in the classification mentioned above has been analysed as periodic terms. In this analysis, the examined period has been separated into two main parts. The first part also has been separated into 1980-1983 that included the military management term and 1984 - 1990 when applied the liberal economics policy term. In the first of these terms, there has been an endeavour to decrease the budget expenditures, but in the second one it has been especially seen that there has been an increasing tendency in the expenditures of the substructure investments and the applications of fund. The second main group has been classified into the three-sub group according to like as the gulf crisis, the economic crisis and the earthquake in The Marmara and in the end of these studies, it has been seen that there has been manifest increases in these terms too.
ÖzetAvrupa Birliği Konseyi, Aralık 1997'de Lüksemburg'da gerçekleştirdiği Zirvede, Türkiye'nin üyelik için adaylığını ilan etmemiştir. Aralık 1997 ile Aralık 1999 arası dönem Birlik ile Türk hükümeti arasındaki ilişkiler gerilmiş, Türk hükümeti, Lüksemburg Zirvesinin hemen ardından AB ile siyasi düzeyde ilişkileri kesmiştir. Birlik, ABD'nin telkinleri ve AB ülkelerinde iktidara gelen Sosyal Demokrat Partilerin, Hıristiyan Demokrat Partilere göre daha evrensel kavramlarla Birliğin geleceğini tanımlama kaygıları gibi etmenlerle, Türkiye hakkındaki kararını değiştirmiş, Aralık 1999'daki Helsinki Zirvesinde Türkiye'nin adaylığını ilan etmiştir.1963 Ankara Anlaşması ile başlayan, 1970'li yıllarda işçi ve işveren kuruluşlarının fikri sorulmadan imzalanan Katma Protokol Anlaşması ile ikinci aşamasına geçilen, Türkiye AET ortaklık ve yakınlaşma süreci, Özal hükümetinin 1987'de AB'ye tam üyelik başvurusu yapması ve 1995 yılında DYP-SHP koalisyon hükümetinin 1/95 sayılı Ortaklık Konseyi kararıyla gümrük birliğine gitmesi ile, 1970'li yılarda olduğu gibi yeniden siyasal gündemin ön sıralarına taşınmıştır. Aralık 1997'de AB Konseyinin Türkiye'yi aday ilan etmemesi üzerine, gümrük birliği ile yeni fırsatlar yakalamış olan ve AB'nin neo-korporatist yapısı sayesinde AB içerisindeki muadil kuruluşlara üye olmuş bulunan TÜSİAD, İKV gibi işveren örgütleri ve DİSK, Hak-İş gibi sendikalar konuyla daha fazla ilgilenmeye başlamış ve gerek Türk hükümeti gerekse AB üyesi ülkeler nezdinde girişimlerde bulunmuşlardır. Hükümetler ve bürokrasi Soğuk Savaş döneminde, toplumsal gurupların dışlanma eğiliminde olduğu dış politika süreçlerini, AB'nin neo-korporatist yapılanması ve Sivil Toplumun gösterdiği gelişimin de etkisiyle, bu yeni dönemde STK'lara açmıştır.Bu çalışmanın hipotezi, işveren ve işçi örgütlerinin 1970'li yıllardan başlayarak Türkiye'nin AB politikaları üzerinde etkili olmaya başladığı ve bu etkinliğin özellikle inceleme dönemi olan Aralık 1997-Aralık 1999 arasında ivme kazandığıdır. İnceleme dönemine dair yapılan daha çok birincil kaynaklara dayalı detaylı araştırma bu yönde doğrulayıcı bulgular üretmiştir. SummaryThe main purpose of this study is to understand the main dynamics of Turkish domestic politics regarding the EU in between EU Council's Luxembourg and Helsinki Summits by examining some selected governmental and non-governmental actors, excluding press and the public opinion and produce a first hand information about this period which is rarely examined as a whole.The EU-Turkey, relations has been a relationship under the control of executive elite and a small group of intellectuals. After the Additional Protocol was put into force in 1971, domestic economic actors have also been interested in the subject and involved in the policy process, regarding the EEC.Within the last decade of 20th century, one of the most important issues of Turkey-EU relations became the realization of customs union in 1995. The December 1997 Luxembourg European Council Summit, is another important diversion point in Turkey-EU relations. Mesut Yılmaz government reacted very strictly to the Council decision, which was not giving canditature status for Turkey, and as a response, decided not to negotiate the political issues with the EU institutions. After the Luxembourg Summit, Economic Development Foundation (İKV), Turkish Businessmen and Industrialists Association (TÜSİAD), Progressive Labor Unions Confederation (DİSK) and Hak-İş were heavily involved in the EU affairs. These non-governmental organizations, through their connections with the EU countries tried to create an impact on the EU governments to change their policies towards Turkey. These groups also tried to persuade the Turkish government to revive the relations and get closer to the EU. After all these intensive efforts, by the help of government changes in some EU countries and undeniable support of the USA president Bill Clinton, Turkey's candidature status has been regarded and announced by the EU Council in Helsinki.Turkey-EU relations transformed from an intergovernmental relationship to a complicated one in which non-governmental actors have been heavily involved. And this study, by its focus on the period 1997-1999, and by primarily examining first hand resources, produces supportive data which shows that the role of non-governmental actors on the foreign policy process of Turkey regarding the EU is, increasing.
SUMMARYA great changement was occurring after fell down the Berlin Wall in East Europe, in 1989.The countries had begun to new period with high debts and inflation by these changements.East European countries have a common feature by carry out the transition period politics by rapidly in this process. So, it was necessity on stabilization politics but not easy.At result, privatization and restructure got an importance.I – THEORICAL AND CONSEPTIONAL FRAME OF MARKET ECONOMYFree market economy has the same philosophy and idea with liberalism. Economical liberalism is defended the free competition, reducing the customs taxes, import freedom and resisted to interference of state on the economy.Classical economy's base is economical freedom and market economy. Market economy is relying on free competition and private enterprise. Price mechanism and world prices are important. Interference of state must be in minimum levels. Public sector must be reduced. Basic factors such as wage, capital and foreign currency must reflect the real market prices, must get an importance to external trade.1-DEVELOPMENT OF MARKET ECONOMY1.1. CLASSIC REVIEWFree trade, specialization only on one field, annihilate the obstacles such as customs and quotas, interferences of state on the market are most important according to Adam Smith, which lived in 18th century.A specialization between nations must be obtained according to Ricardo. So, it must be an exchange on the entire world. 1.2. NEO-CLASSIC REVIEWAlfred Marshall, Leon Walras and Carl Menger is an echol. The state must be more active to improve the poor part of community and must create the opportunities on the market, get the taxes from revenues and wealth, finance the education, health, park and city planning, defence the personal freedom, private property and open markets, manufacture the public commodities.1.3. ORDO-LIBERALISM REVIEWIt is different from classic liberalism. Economical regularity is social which emerges in an evident process, not natural. Social and juridical standards emerge the economical system.Price, monetarily stability, sciences, stability and durability on economical politics are important to emerging of market economy.Basic aim is bring to existence an economical constitution.2- BASIC ELEMENTS OF MARKET ECONOMYBasic factors are enterprising, competition, economical ideas and attitudes.Enterprising is a person which makes unity the manufacturing factors, makes direct the investments, begins to motion by utilize the signals from internal and external markets, gets the share on productivity and determines the firm profit. Basic aim is profit.Competition is social event, protects the personal, which works with high productivity against to personal, which works with low productivity, uses the sources most effectively. Buyer and seller number must be too much in this system. Competition is opposed to monopolization but necessity laws and politics have to support it. ECONOMICAL IDEAS AND ATTITUDESIt includes price, wage, interest, hire and foreign currency. Price system occurs freely according to rate of request and demand conditions. At this straight, firms and consumers must carry out their decisions freely.3- MARKET MECHANISM FLOW AND ROLE OF SOURCE DISTRIBUTIONConsumers and producers have activities on the market economy. The prices are determined according to the lowest cost and to the highest profit.Ideal special future is high productivity, low profit and high production. Competition reduces the profit to the lowest level.Main mechanism on free market is price. If the relative scarcity is enough, request and demand is more or less equal.Producers and consumers may have a decision according to the price indicator and request and demand. This case makes lead the manufacturing, increases the alternatives, also economical activities make an harmony against to conditions.The evident features of market economy are free decision, liberty on preferences, a great price mechanism and competition. So, economical stability is obtainable.Interferences may apply on the market economy for public health, regulations on economical activities, protect the consumers. These motions are generally precautions to control of drugs and drink manufacturing and consumption, annihilation of harmful on public health, growth the power on economic morals, make grow the quality, regulation on manufacturing and marketing. The state may meddle with economy to development rapidly. For example, the state may encourage the saving, increase the rates of interest, decrease the taxes to get on the saving, provide the precautions on investment.The buyers and sellers cannot determine the price on one's own on free competition market. Otherwise monopoly, trust and cartels may occur, stability may out of order between commodity and services.Market economy may deviate from the rules on two main categories.Manufacturer, buyer and seller may make deviate from the rules. Especially trade unionization is effective on this deviation.The state may interfere in economy by taxes, if social and individual advantages different, it may deviate from competition market.The state is exist in every kind of economy and serves to people with harmony and politics and social philosophies of our age. Also it provides security, education and health services but it doesn't determine the prices. It is one of the biggest manufacturers at the same time.II – HISTORICAL WIEW TO BULGARIAN ECONOMY IN THE TRANSITION PERIOD OF FREE MARKET ECONOMY1. BASIC SOCIAL AND ECONOMICAL INDICATORS1.1. GENERALThe form of government is republic, capital is Sofia, Population is 8.297.000(1997), increasing of population is %0. 7, distinctive characteristics in common with Turkishs, Pomaks, Russians, Gipsies, Tatars, Jewishes are in 16 percent.Estimated agricultural area is 1/3 and woodland is 1/3 of all the land. Charcoal, petroleum, natural gas, ferrum and sources except metal are too much. Bulgaria can't use the money too much on surroundings cause of economical lacks.Too many people are migrated to Turkey reason of economical lacks after communism regime. Population is decreased year by year, but unemployment.2. BULGARIA BEFORE 1989Ottoman empire had governorship on the Bulgaria more 500 years till 1908. Then, Bulgarian Kingdom is founded in 1908. Stamboliyski is in powered from Farmer Party in 1920. A new fascism supporter government is founded but communists and farmers were outside of government.Bulgaria is allied with Germany in 1941. Although a new government was found in 1944, the republican regime with referendum is founded in 1946. The new constution is validated in 1947. Cercenkov is in powered in 1950, relations with U.S.A. were out of order and membership of United Nations was validity in 1955.The new constitution is validated in 1971. T.Jivkow is in powered continually, became arrested cause of irregularity in 1990 and then, again a new constitution is validated. Communist Party is made to take out of only one party. In that year, state's name is changed to Republic of Bulgaria and removed the communist symbols from flag. Privatizational laws are validated with Jelev in 1992. The Government of Videnov is contraried the privatization in 1994.Peter Stoyanov is Nato's supporter and he was president in 1996. United Democratic Forces is in powered with 52 percent of vote after selections in 1997.2.1. COMECON AND COLLAPSING OF SYSTEMComecon is a union that emerged by East European Countries. Bulgarian economy has begun to transition period with some negative ness like other East European countries causes of political incompetence and dissociating end of 1980s.Bulgaria which had more than 60 percent of export to associate but it had couldn't find the new markets cause of inadequate ship of quality standards and had an old technology. Foreign currency reserves are high level. It has too many debts, political incompetent ship in the land. Financial system is not conformity to market economy and also could not claim 2 million dollars of money owing from Iraq because of golf war. So, Bulgaria couldn't save from crisis because of above reasons.2.2 GENERAL ECONOMICAL DEVELOPMENT AND SECTORSBulgarian manufacturing industry basically is founded on textile, wooden engrave, leather products and food prep rationing sectors.Bulgaria had realisation the attacks on the heavy industry that supported by S.S.C.B. after 2nd world war.Production of electro-mechanic and electronic goods in manufacturing sector is reached to an important share since 1970s.The biggest natural wealth of Bulgaria is productive earths. There are not important minerals in Bulgaria.In the following period of 2nd world war, metallurgy and chemical production had an importance. Industry sector had old technology. Its competition is losted the power with disunited of the Comecon.Productivity rates on industry are grown with economical reforms that started in 1979. Economical growing is dynamically continued in spite of reducing the productivity on agriculture sector, building sector and investments in Bulgaria. Especially, price volatility on agriculture sector is a reason of suspicion about real value of growth in 1988 according to 1987.Productions on agriculture and industry of Bulgaria are reduced according to statistics. Main problem on agriculture sector is delivery prices of goods.A stagnation indicator on Bulgarian economy is weakness of building and construction sector. Manufacturing products such as cement and weawing is in necessity. Manufacturing level is inadequate on that area and also unqualificationed organisations have been affected.2.3 - FOREIGN TRADEThere are no definite results on foreign trade reason of inadequate of numerical data's.However, export is increased up to the rate of 4 percent in 1988 and import is reduced to the rate of 1.8 percent. Bulgaria finance deficit is 600 million dollars result of trade with west countries in 1998. Tourism revenues are positive.

CONNECTIONS WITH EUROPEAN UNION AND FINANCIAL PORTREIT OF BULGARIA2.1. CONNECTION WITH EUROPEAN UNION OF BULGARIAIn the autumn 1989, Berlin wall is demolished and this motion make united the European that had divided to east and west after 2nd world war. Comecon's mean is continuing the economical dependent ship to Soviet Union. But, most east and west European countries reject it. After these European Union augmented economical and political supports to that countries reason of carry out and conclude the reform, which is started in middle and east European countries.Firstly, a group includes the Turkey is formed by 24 of OECD countries. G24s are transferred to entrust with coordination of support to the European Union Commission.That commission is functionizationed the Phare program that helps on financial and technical areas to Poland and Hungary. Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Romania in Sept.1990, Albanian, Estonia, Leetonia and Livonia in Jan.1992 and Slovenia in Aug.1992 are included by Phare program.Military regulations on security of West European losted the importance but they are already securely areas.Main political aims that related to Middle and East European countries of European Unions are explained below;a- Encouragement of liberal democratic system with respectful of law's superiority.b- to be sense on surroundingsc- to prevent the ethnical collidesd- to prevent the migration to foreign countries at the west.e- Phare program and encouragement of free market economy from planned economy.2.2. WHAT IS THE PHARE PROGRAM?Phare program's aim is build the encourage mental conditions to the market economy and to take pains about investments on economies of Middle and East Europe countries. This program includes unfinancable fields by traditional external supports. That supports on the program is formed by credits and encouragements and used for pilot projects related to reorganization of associations.Bulgaria is taken a support of 10.6 millions ECU by include of Phare program.European Union don't use only Phare program as a tool on politics related to Middle and East Europe countries, except itIncludes the programs within own constitution such as ERASMUS and COMETT.2.3. FIRST PERIOD (before 1989)In this period; trading is developed between Middle and East European countries that named as COMECON COUNTRIES but couldn't show the same developments against to West Europe in European Union.Soviet Union takes the priority on exporting with countries. Bulgaria is the develop pest country on trade with Soviet Union.2.4 TRANSITION PERIOD (1989-1992)The great changements occurred on trade in Soviet Union and Middle and East Europe countries from starting the reforms in 1989 to 1992.From 1989,trade and partnership agreements signed with Hungary and Poland then, with Czechoslovakia in 1990,also Bulgaria and Romania in 1991. At the same time, rejection is started on amount of restrictions. Exporting is increased between Middle and East European countries, Soviet Union and European Union other than below too;Devaluation in the countries other than Hungary,- Workings to join into the West European markets reason of re-emerging the losted ones in East European- Import is on peak-level from those countries to Germany after unitized the East and West Europe.2.5. EUROPEAN AGREEMENTSEuropean agreements are acted end of 1991.Bulgaria-Europe agreement's date of signature: Mar8, 1993Date of being inforce: Dec 31,1995Temporarily agreement: Dec 31,1992European agreement has been in force in Bulgaria, end of 1995. European agreements are partnership agreements that signed by based on 238th paragraph of Roma agreement and Maastricht agreement. According to that state, increasing of export is an prestipulation to growth the economy with stability.3. SUCCEED OF STABILITY PROGRAM IN BULGARIABulgaria signed on an agreement with IMF to pass over the economical hardships and started the reforms in 1991.Economy is grown at the rates of 2.1 percent in 1995.In 1997,economy has the new crisis related to Yugoslavia crisis and so, Bulgaria signed on a new agreement with IMF.Leva is fixed with 20 DM and 1000 Bulgarian Leva to 1 DM and constructral reforms is started to gain the speed.Economy in Bulgaria grown to positive from 1994 but to the 10.9 percent in 1996.- Inflation rates (%) in Republic of Bulgaria; 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 199882,2 72,8 96,2 62 123,1 1082,3 22,3After the stand-by agreement with IMF, inflation approached to 22.3 percent in 1998.Annual average of inflation is expected as 7.3 percent in 1999 and 9.0 percent in 2000.Bulgaria is the poorest country according to other east European countries candidate to membership of EU. Bulgarian Leva is determined by rejected the 3 zeros from Detsch Mark. So, new Leva is make related on euro at the rates of 1.95583:euro 1 (Lvl:DMI ).CONCLUSION:Bulgaria is declared the moratorium reason of hardness's to find an external debt, to refund the capital and interests of external debt.While external debt is 10.6-milliard dollars end of 1990,it has been 12.2 milliard dollars, end of 1993. So, started to paces towards to market economy in Feb 1991. Annual inflation is reduced from 338.5 percent in 1991 to 79.4 percent in 1992.The debts of managements of state are ruined the budget and also a reason to broken balance on economy too.The crisis on foreign currency is occurred in Mar 1994.

Url: http://josc.selcuk.edu.tr/article/view/1075000405 ; Devlet-sivil toplum-demokrasi üçgeninin ağırlık merkezinde yer alan basının Batı'lı ülkelerde olduğu gibi Türkiye'de de yurttaşlık haklarının gelişmesinde doğrudan katkısı olmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'de yurttaşlık haklarının olgunlaşmasının, özellikle yazılı basındaki gelişmelere koşut bir paralellik gösterdiğinin irdelenmesidir. Betimleyici bir yaklaşımın sergilendiği çalışmanın başlangıç noktasını, Osmanlı'nın son dönemindeki Batılılaşma hareketleri ve basının üstlendiği misyon oluşturmuştur. Bu dönemde, yüzü Batı'ya dönük gazetecilerin yenileşme ve hak arayışları ön plana çıkarken; karşılaştıkları önemli engellemeler, sağlanan kazanımların sınırlılığına neden olmuştur. Bağımsızlık savaşı sonrasında kurulan Türkiye Cumhuriyeti döneminde ise, Batı'lı anlamda bir toplum projesi oluşturulmuştur. Bir yandan temel hak ve özgürlükler anayasal güvence altına alınırken; diğer yandan modern bir yurttaş profili gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bununla birlikte, dönemin gerek iç gerekse dış politikasındaki konjonktürel gelişmeler demokrasi fikrinin yaşama geçirilmesinde gecikmelere yol açmıştır. Özellikle bu dönemde, basından beklenilen işlev, kurulan yeni düzeni ve devrimleri desteklemesi ve bu konuda halkı bilinçlendirmesi olmuştur. Kuşkusuz bu dönemde, Cumhuriyet idealine muhalif olan basın üzerinde önemli kısıtlamalara gidilmiştir. Sonuç olarak çok partili siyasal hayata geçiş öncesindeki dönemin ele alındığı bu çalışmada, basının kimi zaman karşılaştığı sınırlamalara rağmen, yurttaşlık haklarının gelişiminde önemli ancak yeterli olmayan bir rol oynadığı vurgulanmıştır. ; Press is to be taken part in the gravity's center of the triangle of state-civil society- democracy that has been contributed directly to the development of citizenship rights in Turkey like western countries. The aim of this study, it is mentioned that the development of citizenship rights shows a conditioned parallellism towards the development of the written press. In the last period of the Ottoman's westernization movements and mission of the press have constituted the begin-ning point of this study that has been exhibited a descriptive approach. At this term, when jour-nalists whose faces became towards West, surpassed their modernization and right seeking, the limitations of the acquired rights were caused by the importance prohibitions. After Independence War and the Republician of Turkey was established, a social project was formed in Western context. Fundemental right and freedoms were taken by constitutional guaranty. And also, the profile of modern compatriot was constituted. However, the concept of democracy was constituted to be delayed by the conjuncturel developments about both internal and external pol-itics. Especially at this period, it was expected that the function of the press supported the estab-lishing, new deal and revolutions and also, educated to public about this subject. Definitely at this term, importance prohibitions on the press which was related to opposition of the ideal of republician, were constituted by the government. As a result of this study which was related to the term about before the plural political life, although the press was confronted with limitations from time to time, it played a significant role about the development of citizenship rights. But, this role did not become efficent for citizenship rights and democracy.
FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE INTEREST RATE IN TURKEY AND MEASURES THAT ARE TO BE MET IN ORDER TO DECREASE THE INTEREST RATESNotwithstanding the fact that the Turkish economy has realized certain steps, it can be told that it has not yet gained a sound and healthy structure and that it will be highly dependent on the outer world in the 21st century. Foreign capital is of great importance in terms of the added value it creates, especially for countries making efforts to develop economically. As stated above, due to the high acceleration of data flow speed, the whole world can always obtain the same information at the same time, thus the rational investors can monitor the investment possibilities in all economies. At this point, the interest rates are determinant for investment decisions. Therefore, estimation of changes in interest rates in the most appropriate manner in the future has become one of main targets of economic researches. After presentation of Turkey's economic overview in the introductory section, we can discuss the working method of our thesis. In Part One of our study, after definition of the interest concept and the brief history of its development, relevant theoretical approaches, the principal economic theories, namely the Classical, Neo-Classical, Keynesian Portfolio, and the monetarist economic theories have been dealt with in the subsections in chronological order, and the determination of interest has been discussed under light of such theories. After relevant theoretical approach in Section Two, factors determining the structure of interest rates have been considered in detail.Principally, we have tried to reveal in our thesis, to what extend the freed and raised interest rates as an instrument of an anti-inflationary policy prevent inflation; further, to what extend the credit and stability policies are secured. In doing so, the issue has been dealt with by a theoretical approach and in Section Three of our thesis, we have dealt with The Factors Determining Interest Rates, The Monetary Transfer Mechanisms Required by Monetary Policy Transfer Process with Different Approaches, and the Turkish Practice.After the general assessment of the Interest Policy in developing countries and Turkey in the Turkish Practice relating to our thesis, we have reviewed the development of interest policies implemented since 1980 and 1989 up to today.In Section Five, the interest rate concept is explained in detail and the development of the regulatory and institutional structure for interest rates in Turkey are considered and changes in interest rates in Turkey are revealed. After review of our interest regime, as guided and free interest regime in Section Six, we have tried to analyze the Domestic Savings Rate and Interest Rate, Nominal and Real Interest Rates and the relations between Inflation and Treasury Interest Rates.In Section Eight, the structure, development and determinants of deposits and credits in interest regime periods distinguished as the guided and free interest regimes have been considered. Data for the period discussed in this section relates to the years after 1980 as much as possible. However, data relating to distribution of bank credits by economic sectors, which has been discussed in connection with credits in our thesis, begins from 1870.In the Section of Conclusions, under the light of all theoretical and empirical knowledge, we have tried also to present various proposals after a general arrangement of the Turkish Practice, we have stated our thoughts and prospects, the reason of this is our wish that Turkey has its position in the global world fully, appears as a country that has solved its economic issued in the eve of the European Union and as a universal country holding the capacity of a producing country, not a consumer one. In a globalizing world, as a person passionately fond of Great Turkey, I am in favour of development of strategic policies, not policies despite everything. Because certain processes have been wrongly interpreted by practitioners in Turkey, concession in nature of capitulations have been granted continuously and the present change process has been reached. I would like to quote a sentence of Machiavelli: "Don't think that the light at the end of the tunnel is brightness, it might be the headlamp of the train coming onto you." Up to date, we have followed this logic, like firefly flying to light, we have gone to artificial model lights that have almost prepared our fate and lost time continuously. In spite of everything, we are powerful, dynamic, because we are too young so that we can overcome the difficulties. Now it is the right time to change, for a sparkling Turkey in the new millennium: quality in every respect, justice and honesty in every matter, to bring practitioners on power who monitor the technology, treat in justice, develop policies making all individuals constructive and productive, catch with the information era, specialize and work in departments, target to position Turkey at the top of a new world order, and do not target only to save the day.Change is necessary to bring all such positive sentiments into practice. In depends on total democracy, change of major part of political parties code and constitution, realization of economic and social reforms, challenge to bring our education to the level of really developed countries. The noble blood flowing in our vessels will absolutely bring us to our target.In fact, this introductory part was to be included in the section of Conclusions; however, I wanted to point in advance at the economical difficulties in Turkish economy, so that sound evaluations can be made until reaching the Section of Conclusions. I believe you better understand the concept that, the person who has not thought of the fate in advance, returns to the beginning, at the end of the thesis. I think that we do not have time to return to the starting point.
Milli Güvenlik Kurulu, "devletin milli güvenlik siyasetinin tayini, tespiti ve uygulanması ile kararların alınması ve gerekli koordinasyonun sağlanması" çerçevesinde, silahlı kuvvetler komuta kademesi ile hükümet üyelerinin Cumhurbaşkanı'nın başkanlığında biraraya gelerek, karşılıklı görüş alış verişinde bulundukları ve görüş belirdikleri bir organdır. Özellikle kriz dönemlerinde dönemlerinde Türk siyasal hayatında oldukça etkili bir işlev görev Milli Güvenlik Kurulu, uygulamada oynadığı bu rol nedeniyle, zaman zaman ülkenin "en üst karar organı" nitelemelerine maruz kalmaktadır. Milli Güvenlik Kurulu (MGK), 1961 Anayasası'yla faaliyete başlamıştır. Türkiye'de Milli Güvenlik Kurulu'ndan önce de çeşitli savunma kurulları faaliyette bulunmuştur. Bunlar; Harb Encümeni(1922), Yüksek Müdafaa Meclisi ve Umumi Katipliği (1933) ve Milli Savunma Yüksek Kurulu(1949) dur. Ancak bunların görev alanları askeri savunmaya yönelik sınırlı bir alanı kapsamaktadır. Türkiye'yi bu tür bir organ arayışına iç siyasi gelişmeler ve dengeler ile dış dinamikler ve konjonktür götürmüştür. Dış dinamiklerin başında, özellikle İkinci Dünya Savaşı'ndan sonra ABD öncülüğünde bütün dünyada meydana gelen savunma konseptindeki değişiklik gelmektedir. Bu savaştan sonra milli savunma, kavramından daha kapsayıcı bir kavram olan milli güvenlik kavramına geçilerek, ABD örneğindeki Milli Güvenlik Konseyi(National Securty Cuoncil) gibi milli güvenliği sağlamakla görevli organlar kurulmuştur. Ancak Milli Güvenlik Kurulu uygulamasına Türkiye açısından bakıldığında, mevzuat ve geleneklerden hareketle, iç dinamiklerin belirleyici bir rol oynadığını görmek mümkündür. Bu nedenle Türkiye uygulaması, Batı ülkelerinden önemli ölçüde farklılıklar göstermektedir. Ülkemiz örneğinde asker ve sivillerin eşit oranda temsil edildiği MGK'nda milli güvenlik kavramı çerçevesinde ülkenin ekonomik, siyasal ve sosyal ve kültürel bütün sorunları müzakere edilmekte, toplantı sonucunda alınan kararlar, "alınması zorunlu görülen kararlar" amir hükmüyle Bakanlar Kurulu'na bildirilmektedir. Bu durum, askeri otoritenin devlet yapısı ve siyasal karar süreçleri içindeki özerkliği ile kendisini Batı ordularından ayıran aşırı merkezi yapısının bir sonucudur. Milli Güvenlik Kurulu, mevcut yapısı ve işleyişiyle, üç önemli soruna yol açmaktadır:1-Milli güvenlik kavramının kapsamının müphem ve muğlak bırakılması, uygulamada temel hak ve özgürlüklerin kısıtlanmasına yol açmaktadır.2-Kurul'a katılan kuvvet temsilcileri vasıtasıyla ordu iç politikaya müdahaleyle karşı karşıya bırakılmaktadır.3-Sivil idareyi devamlı gözetim altında tutan bir mekanizma görevi gören Milli Güvenlik Kurulu, yürütmenin gücünü kırmakta, enerjisini tüketme, zayıf ve etkisiz bırakmaktadır.Anayasa'da ve ilgili mevzuatta düzenlenen Kurul'un yapısı yeniden ele alınmalıdır. Kurulun amacı, statüsü, görevleri tartışmalara imkan vermeyecek şekilde, net bir şekilde ortaya konulmalıdır. Yapılacak yeni düzenlemede Kurul, asker -sivil hesaplaşma alanı olmaktan çıkarılma ve bir "danışma kurulu" statüsünü aşmamalıdır.THESIS SUMMARYThe National Security Council is an organ, consisting of the armed forces command rank and goverment members, who convene within the frame of "determination, designation and application of state's national security policy, taking decisionds and providing the necessary coordination", under the presidency oy the Head of State and mutually exchange views and state opinions. The National Security Council, whic performs a quite efective function especially in crises periods, due to the role it plays in application, is being exposed from time to time to " the highest decision organ" of the country description. The National Security Council (MGK), began activity by the Constitution of 1961. Before the National Security Council in Turkey there had been other various defence committees. These were War Council (1922), High Defence Assemly and General Clerkship (1933) and National Defence High Council (1949). However, the duty scopes of these cover a limited area directed towards military defence.Turkey has been carried to the search for such an organ by the internal and external development and balances and by external dynamics an conjunture. The most important of the external dynamics ist the change in the defence concept, that occurred around the world especially after the Second World War in the leadership of the USA. After this var it has been passed from national defence concept to national security, which concept is more comprehensive and as with the example of the USA's National Security Council, organs, appointed to ensure the national security have been established. When looked at the National Security Council application from the viewpoint of Turkey, however, starting from the regulations and customs, it is possible to see that the internal dynamics play a determining role. Therefore the application in Turkey shows substantial differences from the Western Countries. In our country's example in the National Security Council, where the military and civils are represented equally, within the frame of national security concept, economic, political, social and cultural and all problems ar negotiated. Decisions, taken at the end of the meeting, "decisions, regarded as compulsory" are communicated to the Council of Ministers by a superior's order. This situation is a consequence from the autonomy of the military authority from the state structure and political decision mechanism and from its excessive centralized structure, whic distinguishesit from the Western Armies. The National Security Council, with its present structure and functioning, opens the way to three important questions:1-Leaving the national security concept vague and confusing results practinally in the restriction of the basic rights and freedoms. 2-Through the power representatives joining the Council, the army is left face to face with intervention in domestic politics. 3-The National Security Council, which functions as a mechanism, holding the civil execution constantly under supervision, breaks down the strength of he execution, exhausts its energy, leaves it weak and unefective. The Council's structure, coordinated in the constitution and reladet regulations, must be handled anew. The Council's purpose, its status, and duties must be determined in a neat manner, which leaves no ways for debates. The Council in this new arrangement, should stop being a form of military-civil accounts-settling and should not exceed its status of "consulting comittee".
ÖZETYirmi birinci yüzyılın başlarında dünyamız sosyal, siyasal ve ekonomik bakımdan çok hızlı gelişmelere sahne olmakta, siyasi yönden de ülkeler arasında yeni dengeler oluşmaktadır. Türkiye ise bulunduğu jeopolitik konumu ve jeostratejik üstünlükleri ile tüm dünyanın dikkatlerini üzerine çekmektedir.Dünyada hızlı nüfus artışı ve yaşanan tabi afetler sebebiyle tarımsal üretim her geçen gün daha da önem kazanmaktadır. Açlık ve fakirliğin yaşandığı ülkeler gıda maddelerinde dışa bağımlı hale gelmektedir.Türkiye, geniş yüzölçümü ve coğrafi kaynakları ile gıda üretiminde dünyada kendi kendine yetebilen nadir ülkelerden biridir. Ancak bu potansiyeline rağmen ülkemizin yeraltı ve yerüstü kaynaklarından istenilen ölçüde yararlanılabildiğini söylemek ise mümkün değildir. Gelecekteki tarımsal açığı giderebilmek ve gıda ürünü ihraç edebilmek için başlatılan GAP projesi ise Türkiye'nin geleceğinde önemli bir rol oynayabilecektir.Özellikle Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesi'nde Fırat ve Dicle su kaynakları üzerinde 22 baraj ve yüzlerce sulama tesisini esas alan GAP projesinin tamamlanması Türkiye için büyük önem taşımaktadır. Ortadoğu'nun gelecekteki tarımsal üretim ihtiyacını karşılamada büyük önem taşıyan bu proje ile Türkiye'nin bölgedeki gücünün ve öneminin daha da artacağı söylenebilir.GAP projesinin temellerinin atıldığı 1970'li yıllardan bu yana ülkemizde sürekli olarak tarımsal teknoloji ve sulama eksikliği vurgulanmakta ancak, bu konuda yürütülen bilimsel ve teknik çalışmalar yetersiz kalmaktadır.Son dönemde Türkiye ile her konuda yakın diyalog ve işbirliği içinde bulunan İsrail ise gerek ülke içinde gerekse de başka ülkelerde yaptığı tarımsal araştırmalar ile dünyanın ilgisini çekmektedir. Çöllerle çevrili bir bölgede yer alan İsrail, sulama ve tohum ıslah çalışmalarında önemli adımlar atmıştır. Farklı tarımsal ürünlerde verimli tohumlar İsrail'de üretilmekte ve buradan da pek çok ülkeye ihraç edilmektedir.Her yıl yeni teknik ve teknolojilere büyük bütçeler ayıran İsrail Hükümeti, GAP bölgesine de büyük ilgi göstermektedir. Ülkemize ziyaretlerde bulunan İsrailli yetkililer, ikili görüşmelerde İsrail ve Türkiye ekonomilerinin tarımsal üretim ve teknoloji yönünden birbirlerini tamamlayan yönlerine de özellikle dikkat çekmektedirler.İsrail ile Türkiye arasında yürürlükte olan Serbest Ticaret Anlaşması ve diğer Ekonomik ve Teknik İşbirliği Anlaşmaları ise iki ülke ilişkilerine büyük ivme kazandırmaktadır.Bu çalışmamızda amacımız, İsrail ile tarım alanında yapılabilecek ortak teknolojik ve bilimsel altyapı projelerini ortaya çıkarmaktır. Bu çerçevede; iki ülke ilişkilerinin Türkiye-İsrail Tarımsal İşbirliği Anlaşması gereğince, GAP bölgesindeki tarımsal üretime nasıl katkıda bulunabileceği üç ana başlıkta değerlendirilmeye çalışılmıştır.Çalışmamızın birinci bölümünde; Türkiye'deki tarımın genel yapısı ve Güneydoğu Anadolu Projesi'ni incelemeye çalıştık. Bu bölümde GAP projesinin Türkiye'nin en büyük kalkınma projesi olduğu vurgulanırken, bölgenin tarımsal potansiyeli üzerinde özellikle durulmuştur.Çalışmamızın ikinci bölümünde ise, İsrail'deki tarımın genel yapısı ve tarım projeleri üzerinde durulmuş, özellikle İsrail tarım endüstrisinin yapısı ve çalışmaları incelenmiştir. Bununla beraber İsrail'de elde edilen tarımsal verimin tarım teknolojisi ile birleştirilerek nasıl diğer ülkelere pazarlanabildiği belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır.Çalışmamızın üçüncü ve son bölümde ise, Türkiye-İsrail tarımsal işbirliği potansiyeli üzerine bir değerlendirme yapılmıştır. Bu değerlendirmede Türkiye ile İsrail'in ekonomik ilişkileri, Serbest Ticaret Anlaşması ve bunların sonucunda tarım ürünlerinin taviz pozisyon listeleri üzerinde de bilgiler verilmiştir.Ayrıca çalışmamızla ilgili olarak Türkiye-İsrail tarımsal işbirliği potansiyelinin GAP bölgesinde nasıl üretime geçirilebileceği ve halen uygulanabilirlik durumları değerlendirilmiştir.Türkiye-İsrail Tarımsal İşbirliği Anlaşmasının GAP Bölgesi'ndeki çeşitli uygulanmalarda başarılı olabilmesi için şu önerilerde bulunabiliriz;* Yaklaşık olarak toplam yatırım tutarı 32 milyar dolar olarak dile getirilen GAP projesi henüz tamamlanmamasına rağmen enerji üretimi ve sosyal içeriği ile gerçekten önemli faydalar sağlamaktadır. Ancak mevcut ürün deseni değiştirilmediği ve modern teknolojiler kullanılmadığı takdirde tarım alanında istenen verimi elde etmek ne yazık ki kolay gözükmemektedir.* GAP master planında öngörülen temel kalkınma hedefleri bölgenin temelde tarıma dayalı ihracat üssü haline getirilmesine dayanmaktadır. GAP Projesi'nin bundan sonraki aşamaları da ürün ve pazar çeşitliliği ile birlikte tarıma dayalı ihracat hedefini dikkate alacak şekilde yürütülmelidir. GAP Bölgesi ise tarıma dayalı gıda sanayinin nüvesini teşkil etmelidir.* Başta sulama alanında olmak üzere projeler kapsamında götürülen hizmetlerin etkin bir şekilde kullanımını sağlamak için GAP Bölgesi'ndeki çiftçilerin eğitimine büyük önem verilmelidir.* Yaş meyve ve sebze üretiminde bölgedeki mevcut üretimin çeşitlendirilmesiyle bu alanda yüksek bir üretim düzeyine ulaşılacaktır. Bu alanda uygun çeşitlerin seçimi ve doğru üretim tekniklerinin kullanımı yanında ambalajlama, depolama ve pazarlama tekniklerinin geliştirilmesi büyük önem taşımaktadır.* Bu çerçevede İsrail ile sulama ve tohum üretimin yanı sıra seracılık, hayvancılık ve tarımsal mekanizasyon gibi konularda da işbirliği çalışmalarına başlanılabilir.Günümüzde teknoloji üretemeyen, transfer edilen teknolojileri de özümseyemeyen toplumların geleceğe umutla bakamayacakları bir gerçektir. Türkiye'de tarım endüstrisi alanında know-how transferine başvurmaz ise gelecekte güçlü bir tarım ülkesi olma hayalini hayata geçiremez.Bu açıdan İsrail ile tarımda mevcut işbirliği potansiyeli çok yönlü ele alınmalı ve milli menfaatler çerçevesinde kamu ve özel sektörün işbirliği teşvik edilmelidir. Tarım alanında elde edilen her türlü teknik ve teknolojik gelişme yakından izlenmeli ve yeni uygulamaların Türk tarımının istifadesine sunulması sağlanmalıdır.ABSTRACT The world is in a situation of rapid developments from social, political and economic aspects at the beggining of 21th century. Also some new balances have begin to arise from the political view. Meanwhile, Turkey draws attention of whole world due to its geopolitics and geostrategic position. Because of rapid increase in the world population and natural disasters, agricultural production gains considerable importance day by day in the world. Those countries which have experienced poverty and starvation, have to be dependent on other countries to meet their foodstuffs. Turkey is one of the rare self sufficient countries which can cover its own needs, with its large territory, land and rich geographical resources and the amount of food production. Despite of its tantamount capacities, it is impossible to say that Turkey is making use of its resources efficiently. The GAP project, carried out to eradicate agricultural shortage and export foodstuffs, will play a very important role in the future of Turkey. Completion of the South Eastern Anatolian Project with the installation of 22 dams and hundreds of irrigation systems on Firat and Dicle especially in the South Eastern Anatolia Region has a great importance for Turkey. It can say that through these projects, the power and importance of Turkey will increase even more in the region. Although, the deficiencies of agricultural technology and irrigation system have been frequently emphasized in our country since the laying down of the foundation of the project in 1970s, the scientific and technical studies, conducted on the issue have continued to be insufficient. On the other hand Israel, that developed a close relation with Turkey recently, draws the attention of the world with its agricultural researches in the country and abroad. Though Israel is surrendered by the deserts, it has succeeded to take important steps regarding to irrigation and seed improvement studies. The high productive seeds have been produced in Israel and exported to many countries. The Israeli government, preparing a considerable budget for the new techniques and technologies, also shows great interest to the GAP project. Israeli officials who have been visiting our country frequently, state in the bilateral negotiations that Turkey and Israel complete one another from the point of agricultural production and technology. Free Trade Agreement and other economic and technical cooperation agreements between the two countries have given impetus to the bilateral relations. Our main goal in this study is to reveal common technological and scientific infrastructure projects which could be conducted with the partnership of Israel and Turkey, relating to agriculture. The affects of the relations between two countries on agricultural production in GAP region, under the framework of Turkey-Israel Agricultural Cooperation Agreement, will be evaluated under three main chapters. At the first part of our study, we have tried to investigate the general structure of agriculture in Turkey and the Southeastern Anatolia Project. As we emphasized on the GAP project as the largest development project of Turkey we will also stress on agricultural potential of Turkey. In the second part of our study, we evaluated the general structure of agriculture in Israel and agricultural projects in this country. Furthermore, we try to determine how the agricultural efficiency in Israel is combined with the agricultural technology and marketing techniques to foreign countries. In the third and last part, we make some evaluations on the agricultural cooperation potential between Turkey and Israel. In the framework of this evaluation some information has been given about the economic relations between the two countries, Free Trade Agreement, and as a result of these agreements, about the privileged position lists of agricultural products. Relating to our studies, we also have evaluated how the Turkey-Israel agricultural cooperation potential in the GAP region can be tapped and mentioned the feasibility situations. We can suggest the followings so as to be successful in the several applications of Turkey-Israel Agricultural Cooperation Agreement in the GAP region. * Although the GAP project with $ 32 billion investment cost has not been completed yet, it is started to provide effective benefits with its social context and energy production. However, unless the available product design will be changed and modern technologies will be applied, it is not easy to get expected and planned output. * Basic development goals which have been envisaged in the GAP master plan, are based on the principles to make the region an exportation base. Other stages of the GAP project should be conducted by taking the diversifications of products and markets together with the exportation goal based on agriculture into consideration. The GAP region also forms the nucleus of food industry based on agriculture. * The training of the farmers in the GAP region, especially on the irrigation and other services provided in the framework of the GAP project should be given a special importance to carry out the project effectively. * Through the production variety of fresh fruit and vegetable in the region, a high production level will be able to be reached. Apart from selecting proper and suitable varieties and usage of the correct techniques of production, the techniques of packaging, storing, and marketing are also very important. * In this framework, we can cooperate with Israel on the fields of greenhouse, stock raising and mechanization of agriculture, besides irrigation and seed production. Today, it is a reality that societies, not applying technology, cannot look to the future with hope. If not applied to 'know-how' transfer in the agricultural field, Turkey cannot realize his ideal of being a country with a strong agricultural sector in the future.From this perspective, the agricultural cooperation potential with Israel should be evaluated multidimensional, an so the public and private sectors should be encouraged in the framework of national interests. Any developments in the agricultural field should be followed and new applications should be provided for the benefit and exploitation of Turkish agriculture.
