| Overall Educational Objective |
To discuss, understand and, to the extent possible, to develop solutions to the problems that arise today in Constitutional Law, both in relation to Electoral Law, Separation of Powers and Forms of Government |
| Course Description |
The 1982 Constitution has undergone many amendments since its inception and was most recently restructured under a new system of government with the 2017 Amendment. It is quite possible that new constitutional problems may arise after these amendments and these problems are already being observed. In this framework, whether the problems related to Electoral Law can be solved by the Supreme Electoral Council in the classical sense; likewise, whether the issues related to the independence of the judiciary can be solved in the classical sense within the framework of the HSYK, especially the HSK in its new form; likewise, how the separation of organs and powers, which is a necessary consequence of the classical principle of separation of powers, is solved or realized today, will be discussed as constitutional problems that we face and solutions will be produced when necessary. |

1982 Anayasası, yapılışından itibaren birçok değişiklikler geçirmiş ve en son olarak 2017 Değişikliği ile yeni bir hükumet sistemi çerçevesinde yeniden yapılandırılmıştır. Bu değişiklikler sonrasında ortaya yeni anayasal sorunları çıkması son derece mümkün olup bu sorunlar zaten gözlemlenmektedir. Bu çerçevede, Seçim Hukukuna ilişkin sorunların, klasik anlamda Yüksek Seçim Kurulu ile çözülüp çözülemeyeceği; aynı şekilde, yargı bağımsızlığına ilişkin hususların klasik anlamda HSYK, özellikle de yeni biçimiyle HSK çerçevesinde, çözülüp çözülemeyeceği; yine aynı şekilde klasik güçler ayrılığı ilkesinin zorunlu sonucu olan organ ve yetki ayrılığının günümüzde nasıl çözüldüğü ya da gerçekleştirildiği, karşımıza çıkan anayasal sorunlar olarak tartışılacak ve gerektiğinde çözümler üretilecek olan sorunlar olarak derste işlenecektir. |
