@article{2017,title={A Brief Analysis of Turkish Modernization and Social Change from Second Constitution to the Republic of Turkey },abstractNode={The Ottoman State has began to turn its face to the West since the Tulip Age. In the nineteenth century, westernization movements have intensified. During the Tanzimat period, there have been intensive changes in the fields of administration, law and education. but most of them could be applied in the later period. I. Constitutional Monarchy has been a period of radical changes. These can be listed as acceleration of education with the secular system and transition to constitutional monarchy governance. Although the constitutional government was abandoned in a short period of time, the state of law and constitutional demands continued to increase. II. Abdulhamit soon gave up the constitutional monarchy. But modernization and innovation movements have continued increasingly in other areas. Proponents of the constitutional monarchy saw Western civilization as the only means of salvation. The influence of oppressive government has triggered this understanding. This approach could be partially applied in the freedom of the II.Constitutional Monarchy. However, the innovation movements tried to be made during the constitutional periods did not achieve the desired success. it is possible to understand this from historical information, documents and discussions. The main reason for this is the Western admiration and the sense of defeat. Additionally, the lack of statesmen and intellectuals to implement the innovations according to the structure of the Turkish society has become an important problem.},author={ -Arif Olgun KÖZLEME - Muammer AK },year={2017},journal={Toplum Bilimleri Dergisi}}
