Özet:This thesis analyses the question of Turkish model for the Arab Spring countries by focusing on four main dimensions which have special importance in this work: The Arab Spring with a theoretical and conceptual framework, the Arab Spring and its major causes, Turkey’s reform process under the Justice and Development Party’s rule, relevance and applicability of Turkish model for the Arab Spring countries. It seeks primarily to answer the question that whether or not Turkey is a model for the Arab Spring countries. The thesis argues that without structural changes in economics, and politics of the Arab Spring countries, Turkey cannot be a model for them. In other words, the thesis contends that if political and economic changes in a structural framework occur in in the Arab Spring countries, then Turkey can become a model for them. In this respect, the thesis puts main arguments of the model discussions.
