Abstract :The Justice and Development Party (AK Party) has demonstrated a sustained ability to maintain single-party rule for an extended period. Since its founding, the AK Party has reached its 22nd year at the time of this study. Over the course of its 22-year political life, the party has secured victory in a total of 18 elections: five general elections—which could be counted as seven if the repeated election of 2015 is included—five local elections, three constitutional referenda, and three presidential elections. This study examines the significant political shifts and policy changes that the AK Party, as one of the most influential actors in Turkish political life, has undergone during its time in power. These developments are analyzed within a cause-and-effect framework. The periodization employed in this analysis is not based on a strict chronological timeline; rather, it is shaped by critical events and phenomena that have redefined the party’s overall policy approach and modes of governance.
Keywords : Ak Party, Political Science, Turkish Political Life
