چکیده:
Objective: Kemalism was a state ideology promoted and followed in the Republic of Turkey, especially in the early years of its establishment. With the rise of Justice and Development Party or the White Party, with its Islamist roots, in the pyramid of power from the beginning of the 3rd millennium AD, some challenges arose between the actions of politicians and the principles of Kemalism; since the mentioned system of thoughts was based on secularism. One of the most important areas, with an obvious need to examine the existence or absence of such fundamental challenges, is political economy. This study, aiming to analyze the relationship between Kemalism and the most prominent trends in the Turkish political economy in recent decades, provides the necessary data and evaluates that in this regard. Method: The beginning of the period surveyed in this research, is the establishment of the Welfare Party in 1987. This study has been conducted by descriptive-analytical method. Findings: Findings of this research show that in the political economy of Turkey in recent decades, the position of Kemalist principles of populism, republicanism, secularism, and revolutionism have not declined significantly, while the weakening of just two principles of nationalism and statism are visible. Conclusion: Most of the principles making up the Kemalism ideology have still been current in various areas of contemporary political economy of Turkey.
