Zusammenfassung:Berlin, Humboldt-Univ., Diss., 2013
This case study generates an analytical framework for identifying path-dependent causes underpinning the deep state that is a modality of dual domination - Herrschaft in a Weberian sense - emerging from the interplay between formal and informal institutions, rules, and norms. As deep state refers to a particular level of the coercive state apparatus’ autonomy, this thesis explores the explanatory power of state transformation for delineating the demarcation line between autocracy and democracy as well as between defective and consolidated democracy. It applies process-tracing through theory-driven narrative to contextualize the Turkish deep state, whose (in)formal roots are traced back to the Ottoman Empire, and to pinpoint the risks and opportunities on this path with regard to democratic consolidation.
