“…Since their establishment in the early 1990s, the brotherhood had hundreds of thousands of disciples, who rapidly obtained high‐status positions in the state and private sectors, including in business, academia, media, sports, politics and the security forces (Sandal, 2012, p. 75; Coate & Thiel, 2010, pp. 131–153; Jenkins, 2005, pp. 65–66).…”

This paper analyses 10 critical years of civil–military relations in Turkey by investigating a possible civilianisation and the growing AK Party influence in the military. As has been discussed by Turkish experts via a plethora of works, there have been unprecedented developments in Turkish civil–military relations during the AK Party's administration. Yet, recent events—namely, the 15 July attempted coup, the institutional and legal changes instigated during the ensuing state of emergency and President Erdoğan's questionable position as both the AK Party leader and commander‐in‐chief—require us to reconsider the current status of civil–military relations. This paper first analyses the relevant theoretical debates in the literature. Second, it briefly summarises key events from the AK Party era. Thereafter, the paper analyses the so‐called Fethullah Gülen incident. Lastly, the paper analyses the institutional amendments regarding civil–military relations, examining whether there is an increasingly partisan influence over the military.

“…Crucially, these reports emphasised that the Gülenists' ultimate objective was to establish an Islamist–Sharia regime in Turkey once they'd gained sufficient power (Sandal, 2012, p. 75; Coate & Thiel, 2010, pp. 131–153; Jenkins, 2005, pp. 65–66).…”

The military rule that was inaugurated by the coup d’état of 12 September 1980 plays a key role in the history of modern Turkey. With this seizure of power, the third since the foundation of the republic, the military promoted a set of reforms that radically reshaped the political system, the institutions, and society. Even though elections were held three years later, the regime left an enduring legacy that remains hard to come to terms with. At the same time, studies on the military era have started to flourish almost simultaneously and the regime never ceased to be a prominent research object. This article maps the historiography on the 1980 era by discussing a selection of publications that in the past forty years opened the debate or led it in new directions. The article engages with the work of scholars from various disciplines and academic traditions, without neglecting publications by journalists and other authors. Even from this mapping, that includes a small and not exhaustive sample of studies, the 1980 era emerges as an undoubtedly complex period, whose understanding can count, however, on a set of landmark publications.
