NEW PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM OF TÜRKİYE: A SAMPLE MODEL FOR STABLE AND EFFECTIVE GOVERNMENT?

Mongolian semi-presidential political system which has long suffered from institutional dilemmas and instabilities is very similar to the former political system of Türkiye, which was so-called parliamentary system, but worked just like a semi-presidential system. This paper will explore the newly adopted Turkish presidential system as a search to find out whether or not it would be an applicable model for the cases like Mongolia which have long suferred from political instability. In this regard, I will first draw the situation of Türkiye under the former parliamentary system and show the vulnerabilty of the political system until 2017 when presidential system was adopted. Then, I willl indicate basic characteristics of newly adopted presidential system of Türkiye and how it deals with gridlock. I will argue that Turkish presidential system is a unique political system which brought about stability and efficiency, and thus may be a sample model for the cases like Mongolia having inefficient and instable political environment.
