Throughout history, various countries have experienced the process of democratization with numerous ups and downs, largely influenced by the policies and actions of their GOVERNMENTs. Consequently, different forms of governance have emerged, including democratic, semi-democratic, and non-democratic regimes, each shaped by these fluctuations in democratization. Since the late Ottoman era, Turkey's democratization process has undergone multiple ups and downs due to GOVERNMENTal policies and actions. These transitions have led to diverse GOVERNMENTal structures, from the constitutional democracy of the late Ottoman period to the single-PARTY democracy of the Atatürk-İnönü era, from the multiPARTY democracy of the Menderes-Demirel period to the military-guardianship democracy, and from the liberal participatory democracy of the Özal-Erbakan era to the delegated, semi-authoritarian conservative liberal democracy of the Gulen-Gül-Erdoğan period (Research background). This study focuses on analyzing the ups and downs of Turkey’s democratization process and its GOVERNMENTal structures over the past two decades (problem). The research follows the theoretical framework of "process tracing" and utilizes library and digital sources (methodology). Under the Justice and Development PARTY (AKP) GOVERNMENT, Turkey’s democratization process has gone through three phases: "growth and consolidation," "weakening and decline," and "collapse and stagnation." As a result, three corresponding forms of governance can be traced: "conservative liberalism," "delegated democracy," and "declining semi-authoritarianism (Findings)."
