An Investigation of Turkey's Social and Economic Policies from the Foundation of Republic (1923) to Atatürk’s Death


Abstract

The objective of this study was to examine the social and economic policies implemented in Turkey from the foundation of the republic until Atatürk’s death. The employed methodology involved a descriptive and analytical approach utilizing library resources. Mustafa Kamal’s activities in Turkey have been widely regarded as a pivotal moment in the history of Turkey, resulting in both favorable and unfavorable consequences. Undoubtedly, despite the prolonged duration of the reforms in this nation, Kamal's multifaceted endeavors in the realms of economics, society, culture, and others are unparalleled for their nature, variety, and scope during his era. The aforementioned reforms have yielded numerous consequences for Turkey, a portion of which persist to this day and have been entrenched within the fabric of Turkish society. The Islamists after Najm al-Din Azbakan lacked a profound conviction in effecting its alteration and were incapable of doing so with ease. Moreover, certain Islamic nations have taken notice of Kemalism in Turkey and regard its amalgamation with the Islamism of the Welfare and Justice Party as a paradigm for their societal advancement. Hence, the scholarly examination of the religious and social changes that occurred in Turkey during the tenure of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk remains a pertinent topic.
