Abstract

Modern Turkey represents an interesting case of political transformation: from traditional monarchy to military regime, from military regime to parliamentary democracy and, more recently, from parliamentary democracy to a new authoritarianism. One of the most influential Turkish scholars who studied these processes was Ergun Özbudun (1937–2023), a political scientist and constitutional lawyer, honorary professor at the European University of Law and Administration in Warsaw; Özbudun’s contribution to the understanding of these transition constitutes the most important part of his scholarly work
