Açıqlama:

There are three types of democratic republic governance forms: presidential system, where executive and legislative branches are elected by people, without any responsibility to each other; parliamentary system, where legislative branch or even more head of the state are elected by people, but government takes responsibility before parliament, semi-presidential system, which consists of the mixed properties of these two forms of government. Transition of these systems, particularly between presidential and parliamentary government forms, is one of the topical issues of recent times. The article is devoted to the comparative analysis of the presidential government applied on the proposal of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) with US sample. The aim of the study is to analyse the main features of this form of government in Turkey in the context of US government system and to demonstrate its results in terms of democracy. In this context, firstly the principles of the Turkish and US presidential administration forms had been examined based on constitutions, and then the comparative analysis had been conducted and probable results had been put forward. It is still unclear for many people what to expect from the so-called ‘Turkish type of presidential system’. This analysis was based on the study of the sources related to the subject, the analysis of the results obtained, the analysis and synthesis of the arguments, and also the comparative analysis method.
