Abstract :The role and impact of political participation in terms of the importance of political development is analysed in this study, and the Justice and Development Party is chosen as the sample. The aim of this study is to evaluate the Justice and Development Party\'s perspective on political participation, its moves in this direction and the policies it has realised in terms of the level of political development. There are many criterias indicating the level of political development in a society. In order to talk about the level of political development, only the existence of political participation is not a sufficient criteria. The components of the level of political development can be listed as a developed democracy, a developed economy, pluralistic cultural understanding, gender equality, fundamental rights and freedoms, acceptance of different identities and cultures, integration of state and society, participation in decision-making processes and social integration. It is possible to state that the Justice and Development Party has made positive developments in many areas in line with the aforementioned issues. Accordingly, the characteristics of the political development level of the Justice and Development Party, its identification dimension and the developments it has made in this field are taken as a basis for the analysis.
