Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis project was to investigate the historical stability of the Turkish government and compare it with the present-day government with the intent of revealing the likelihood of coup activity in the near future, as has been seen in Turkey's history. Turkey has a proven status of importance to the United States by virtue of its strategic location, democratic pursuits, cultural status, and economic potential. This research delved into the country's past coup activities and related variables. Further, Turkey's present-day status and potential future were analyzed to reveal a prediction of relative stability and progress for the country into the future. This is significant, as there was a pending gap in the research that suggested the possibility of Turkish instability, which would be counterproductive to the challenges of the United States in the region. The research suggests that Turkey's military will continue to play a key role in the country's decision-making process and will act as an overseer to the decisions made by policy makers. However, should the country continue on the path it is on now, there is little reason to suspect anything other than stability for the Turkish government in the coming years.
