Summary
The Turkish military has been a formidable force in the country’s political and constitutional order since its founding. At times, its influence has furthered liberal-constitutional development, but on other occasions, the military has hampered that same development. The chapter will discuss the military’s historical relationship with Turkey’s constitutional order and analyze the lessons it offers for other contexts.
