Turkey's General Election in 1950 and the Cognition of British Diplomats--Investigation based on the Documents Written by Charles, British Ambassador to Turkey

摘要


The election of the Grand National Assembly in 1950 was an important watershed in the modern political history of Turkey, which marked a profound change in the political level in the process of Turkey's modernization and was a milestone on the road of Turkey's political democratization. On the one hand, the new atmosphere presented in this election not only reflects the practical results of the long‐term top‐down political reform of the President of the Republic of Turkey, the ruling government, and other political parties but also shows that the Republican People's Party and the Democratic Party are striving for the support of western countries for Turkey's westernization under the background of the Cold War. On the other hand, this election started the political practice of "the real structuring upwards" put forward by Kemal, and its essence was the profound change in Turkish political culture, that is, the competitive election system created space for people's legitimate political participation. The clever campaign skills of the Democratic Party broke the long‐standing relationship between farmers and the state, and the majority of farmers came to the center of the Turkish political arena with a more positive attitude.
