The national security concept and police‑military relations in Turkey

Abstract

The broad definition of the national security concept has always been a highly contested subject in Turkey. Yet, the existing studies have not addressed much‑needed focus on the relationship between this obscure definition of the concept and its impact on police‑military relations. To fill this gap, this paper analyzes police‑military relations in Turkey in light of the historical development of the national security concept. In this regard, in this paper it is argued that the imprecise and all‑encompassing use of national security concept remains unchanged in the aftermath of the civilianization process of the 2000s. As the national security concept continues to maintain its extended meaning, the convergence of police‑military roles persists but gets to be reformulated. Yet, under these circumstances, the police appear to be like the great beneficiary of this convergence of roles as the military tutelage regime came to an end and the civilian control of the military has been fully established. 

ABSTRAKT

Szeroko definiowana koncepcja bezpieczeństwa narodowego od zawsze była w Turcji przedmiotem wielu kontrowersji. Jednak istniejące badania nie koncentrują się na niezwykle istotnym związku między niejasną definicją pojęcia a jej wpływem na stosunki policyjno‑wojskowe. Aby wypełnić tę lukę, w niniejszym artykule autorka analizuje stosunki policyjno‑wojskowe w Turcji w świetle historycznego rozwoju koncepcji bezpieczeństwa narodowego. W związku z tym na kartach niniejszej pracy argumentuje się, że nieprecyzyjne i wszechstronne wykorzystanie koncepcji bezpieczeństwa narodowego pozostaje niezmienione w następstwie 2000‑letniego procesu cywilizacyjnego. W związku z tym, że koncepcja bezpieczeństwa narodowego nadal zachowuje swoje szerokie znaczenie, istnieje także konwergencja ról policyjno‑wojskowych, lecz musi zostać przeformułowana. Jednak w tych okolicznościach policja wydaje się być wielkim beneficjentem tej zbieżności ról, gdy wojskowy reżim kurateli dobiegł końca i cywilna kontrola nad wojskiem została w pełni ustanowiona.
