Description

The period of extensive development for SRCs in Turkey started in 2002, when the Justice and Development Party (Turkish: Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi, or AKP) came to power. New and narrowly specialized expert/analytic institutions were established in the last decade, which was prompted by geopolitical and regional developments, new conflicts, crises of different types and other problems, as well as the need to overcome barriers between practical politics and academic science, and to influence the decision-makers. The essential function of Turkish SRCs is to present ideas/proposals, develop strategic programs, development visions, political and military forecasts with regard to national security issues, and most importantly, deliver those to the decision-makers.The article discusses the problems of strategic research centers in Turkey.

Notes

The research was carried out within the framework of the "ANALYTICAL CENTERS OF THE REGION (Georgia, Azerbaijan, Turkey)" project. Translated from Armenian. The original was published in the "Globus" analytical bulletin of Noravank Foundation (No. 5, 2015, pp.13-21).
