Turkey, DAF - Meydan #27 - 21st century. Theory and Practice
of surrender: "New Turkey TESEV of: PODEM" - Elijah Rare (tr)
Deteriorating Alliances, New Needs ---- The 2011 general elections after the policy
hardening of authoritarianism is said ruling party, the AKP, in some liberal circles in
the form of her de facto alliance partnership established in the early 2000s, 2013 Taksim
Gezi Park resistance shaken with good, 17-25 at the end of the same year after December
Corruption Operations is now He ends. Even more attractions in the first signals that
decomposition resistance and corruption operations even when im on the agenda, the ruling
was pronounced flank by April 2013. AKP Istanbul Provincial Chairman Aziz Babuşçu, in his
speech at a meeting, "In the next 10 years, we are now in the past or stakeholders in this
way, for example, may not be liberals stakeholders. Their future will not be as desired. "
he said. With this cut in power points in the relationship between the 2011 elections,
after starting to lose its temperature was wide open in the aftermath of presidential
elections in August, now it AKP.
Some non-governmental organizations that are acting together in the said period with the
ruling party alliance between the liberal circles and people in this "new era" began to be
reconsidered accordingly. Also close to the power that exists in some names began to part
ways with the organization. After a long period that the TESEV's chairman, also with a few
names that pioneered the available Can Paker's Open Society Institute Turkey Advisory
Board, last in April PODEM (Public Policy and Democracy Studies Center) named, close to
the government policy, In the case of the liberal circles distance of a new "think-tank"
it was announced to the media that in the Assembly.
Where the power voltage in this new era of global "Freedom House" as the US-based think
tank, TESEV was one of the funding sources. In a report in May last year, Freedom House
published, TC "journalists to be free of" countries-class assessment, said the ruling has
led to tension between the think tanks. Especially Taksim Gezi Park resistance i after the
ruling circles introduced version "interest lobby" of their counterparts in the global
plan discourse in TESEV's made over the years cooperation Freedom House, like the
European Institute, the TC relations in recent years "limonileş the" US-EU-based were
these organizations.
Resulting in this "new business cycle" with all this data Paker related to discarded PODEM
project forward in the light of the reasons for this new formation, which formed in need
frame he said explaining as follows: "In the discussion starting on TESEV they asked us to
oppose us power. However, does the opposition think tanks like us. We may come to power
who strive to succeed. "
Especially 17 to 25 December following, said to represent the Istanbul-based capital and
power boss organization referring also to the rising tensions between TUSIAD "civil
society should be conflict with power of organization," indicating Paker, last departure
from TESEV where in January for 17 years, a similar TESEV in the coming period
establishment of "offer can not readily found in case," he said.
Keep in mind that an organization with the boss because of TUSIAD organization like a boss
"hybrid," he appraised the Podem the founders and supporters of Can Paker names other than
striking. State power originating in each project we used to see so often in this section
of our newspaper, "a guest" journalist Oral Calislar, Podein board member. Among the other
founders of the Podem Etyen Mahcupyan, Limak Holding, Nihat Ozdemir boss's daughter Ebru
Özdemir, the pro-government Yeni Safak authors have names such as Süleyman Seyfi meals.
Located between Podem co-founder and board member of The most remarkable among the names
Cuneyd Zapsu. Zaps also among the founders of the AKP, it took place some time in the
management of the party. The prime minister, in the period where the AKP, Erdogan, he
advised the current president. Cuneyd Zaps was faced with alleged bribery during this
task. Zapsuyu Fiskobirlik allegedly wanted to bribe former president Saleh Rich loaded in
an amount of 50 million provision for loan losses was discussed for a long time. Also in
the Wikileaks documents published in 2010 Cuneyd Zapsuyu's name, Tüpraş with Recep Tayyip
Erdogan later canceled the sales goes between providing an unfair advantage.
Can Paker with PODEM the power line with founding we have mentioned in some of the above,
especially TESEV-which is conducive to the decomposition of the path of the TÜSİAD-wing
"government opposition" in When the annual report on the TESEV the past year said
"opposition" without a doubt the capital and bosses favor would debate . (For more
information about the TESEV: Square Gazette, number: 6, "Capitalism Thoughts Storage: TESEV")
PODEM's "Interests" parallel power,
Past the Podem proclaimed the establishment at the end of April, which has just opened is
located on the web site, the organization's first three issues in the section where the
research field, "the solution process, security and democracy, a new constitution
(recently in the state's public imposed by discussion of the presidential system as in
read.) "it is clearer. Some of the other issues is "fairness, justice and the law,"
"religion, state and society", "the Republic of Turkey-EU relations", "freedom of
expression and the media", "Turkey and the Armenians" stands out as.
Furthermore, according to an interview he gave to a newspaper's also the founder of Can
Paker PODEM do research on how visible the police in society, the report will be submitted
to the relevant bodies to prepare for the state. According to Paker's testimony, the
police with this research "problems" examining the Interior Ministry, "a photograph offer"
aimed PODEM thoroughly increasing police violence and terror, of course, so that recent
"to cover up ignoring."
Can Paker, in an interview with the same newspaper to, to prepare a report about the
Alevis, he said. Establishment of the issue to see which state power window in the light
of these reports, no Alevis dead, beyond the problem as assimilation and de-identified on,
Erdogan voiced often "scream love affair Ali ..." We think that to say it would be in the
context prophecies are not counted.
On which the current ruling party and also closely interested in the subject of my PODEM
plans to confiscation, is planning a non-governmental organization to think along with
power as well as highlight the discourse. Establishment of a short promotional video on
the website of PODEM logo "governing the information society" and that the phrase "unity"
lays out the purpose. In short, a thought center, I PODEM as the think tank, which will be
focused on the issues of power and signals to be structured to ensure that the
government's policy of giving civil society support in advance.
Exploitation of Tanks: "Think Tank"
Capitalism, to put its people's lives their values and posed as a move to internalize
these values to the concept of civil society, the problems in the social field,
"community" rhetoric that the solution effort in coming should think-tank called the
filled in with the thinking centers of production. Also claiming to be independent of
ideology "scientific" and "objectivity" that are thought to carry the think-tanks, it has
become the center referenced to the idea. Economics, politics, international relations,
engaged in research on military and strategic issues and reports demonstrating that the
think-tanks, government and are effective in company policies. And with civil society
organizations "independent" way "scientific" thought and analysis revealing these centers,
enabling the legitimacy of companies and government policy.
Worldwide approximately 5500 think-tank, to collect information that will benefit
companies with which they are located, and is close to the state they operate and
analysis. This think-tanks as well just PODEM "governing information society", which aims
to ensure that governing bodies and are pointing to the exploitation of new areas for the
company. Particularly astonishing budgets and attention to important issues they explore
some of the think tanks are:
