Özet:

This article examines the performance of the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) in the fields of economy, politics, public administration and social policy since it came to the government in 2002. The research has shown that the party is very successful in all these fields. In the period of the AK Party’s continued power break since 2002, the economy has been increasing by an average of over 5%, and the national income per person has risen from around $3,000 to around $11,000. The reform packages carried out by the parliament, one by another, have carried out significant changes in areas such as human rights, the Kurdish issue, the army-political relationship, etc. Parliament closure; freedom of faith, conscience and thought; civil law and criminal law; social and cultural rights, with the reforms implemented, has proved that the AK Party is a human rights and democracy party. As a result of the peace process carried out, the PKK agreed to leave the weapons and the AK Party gained the pleasure and appreciation of the national and international community. There have been serious achievements in the field of local governments towards the transition from the traditional understanding of governance to the understanding of governance that aims to involve the government, civil society and individuals in the local governments in the decision-making and implementation processes. The performance of the AK Party in the field of social policy has not been behind the others with the enormous budgets and programs allocated to health, education, social security, employment and social aid.
