Abstract

Understanding the relationship between civil-military relations plays a crucial role in the discipline of political science but most importantly it vibrates issue that tackles states and societies in their format and dynamism. In this paper I will try to explain the basic understanding of the civil-military relations with a specific reference to the historical development and possibilities of interaction between the both trajectories of military power as a key player in the case of security and the civil political leadership as a key player that brings development and policies for the state. Afterward, I'll try to explain the political development of Turkey as a country that faced a huge number of Coup D'états in the last two centuries and by doing so, we will enter into a discussion and focusing mostly on the last attempt in 2016. While rethinking the civil-military relations we will try to reveal (f) actors on the Turkish political internal dynamism that factorized once again the military power and initiated action to curb civil society polity.
