Özet:

The National Security Council (MGK), which constitutes the center of the national security system of Turkey, continues its activity as an institutional actor in the context of domestic or foreign policy, while the degree of influence changes. The legal status and corporate formality of the MGK, which forms the corporate mechanism of the national security system, has shown changes according to Turkey’s internal and foreign policy objectives, problems and the perception of threats. The National Defence High Council, established by law No. 5399 in 1949, was converted into a constitutional institution in the Constitution of 1961, taking the name MGK and for the first time in Turkey the concept of "national security" was incorporated into the Turkish legal system. This transformation has not only made a transformation in the legal status and corporate architecture of the national security site, but also made the beginning of a transformation in the security paradigm of Turkey. During the course of the 2000s, the security system of Turkey has beenined in a militarist structure. The changes in the internal political structure in the 2000s, and the obligations that Turkey encounters in the full membership process to the European Union, have stopped the process of militarization of the MGK. In this study, the historic process and legal status of MGK are studied, and the changes in the process and the parameters affecting these changes are tried to be analyzed.
