This was the case in Turkey, as the current Justice and Development Party government decided to hold a constitutional referendum on September 12, 2010 to amend the current Constitution of 1982, ratified by the military junta of 1980- 1983. At the end, 58% of the voters voted “Yes”, as opposed to 42% of “No” votes. However, despite its enormous political and social impact, the subject remains under-researched and in need of explanation. This study gives a snapshot and evaluation of the 2010 referendum campaign according to relevant theories of psychology and political science. Accordingly, this study denotes eleven interrelated factors of crucial importance in similar referendums and discusses their representation in the context of referendum, thus, contributes to the literature in terms of explaining both psychological and political factors in the referendums. summary: None keywords: akp; campaign; party; people; political; referendum; turkey; vote; voters; yes cache: politikon-177International Association for Political Science Students plain text: politikon-177.txt item: #33 of 70 id: politikon-178 author: None title: politikon-178 date: 2019-06-11 words: 4485 flesch: 43 summary: Briefly on electoral systems As for electoral systems and their basic functions, they can be defined as the means by which votes are translated into seats in the process of electing politicians into office (Farrell 2006, 3).

S. takeovers of Canadian firms and resources and granting all American firms national status and the right of operation in Canada, - granting U.S. firms guaranteed access to Canadian market for services, - restricting Canadian sovereignity over large areas of internal economic policy(e.g., although the classification of a prohibited subsidy has yet to be agreed upon the two countries, it will almost certainly restrict regional development subsidies, that have been the backbone of economic development policies dating back to the Confederation.), and restricting the use of the public sector and state aid to promote economic development in Canada. keywords: canada; nafta; world cache: politikon-3.pdf plain text: politikon-3.txt item: #58 of 70 id: politikon-30 author: Choi, David W. title: The The People vs. Democracy: Why Our Freedom is in Danger and How to Save It by Yascha Mounk date: 2018-09-30 words: 1134 flesch: 56 summary: He offers several solutions such as defending the rights of everyone in a country and advocating for keeping immigration open, but having control over borders (214); creating a “new sense of pride in a very different kind of mass employment,” so that liberal democracies “retain the ability to shape a future in which an openness to the world does not need to be synonymous with a loss of control” (235-36); and having civic education that features “both the real injustices and the great achievements of liberal democracy” (251). , Yascha Mounk claims that unless there are changes soon, liberal democracy as we know it may not survive much longer. keywords: democracy; mounk; people cache: politikon-30.pdf plain text: politikon-30.txt item: #59 of 70 id: politikon-308 author: Sarıkoç Yıldırım, Beyza title: Climate Justice at the Local Level: The Case of Turkey date: 2020-06-29 words: 8933 flesch: 35 summary: According to the classification by Bulkeley and Kern (2006), there are four main policy tools in local climate change policies, namely self-governing, by provision, by authority and through enabling.
