Abstract

In the post-2010 era, Turkey faced a volatile geopolitical landscape marked by the Arab Spring, the Syrian Civil War, shifting alliances, and heightened tensions with Western countries. These political challenges have had significant economic repercussions, including declining foreign direct investment, deteriorating currency stability, and decreased investor confidence. Additionally, domestic political shifts have exacerbated Turkey's financial vulnerabilities, such as consolidating power under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and increasing centralization of economic decision-making. This study examines the effects of regional and international developments (European Union, the United States, Russia) since 2010 on the decline of the Turkish economy. Literature review approach were used to gather relevant academic papers, reports, and other secondary data. The thematic analysis was taken to make this research more comprehensive and cover the pivotal aspects. The findings highlight the need for policy reforms to navigate international political tensions and financial recovery. The research underscores the intertwined nature of politics and economics in Turkey, demonstrating how political instability has deepened the economic downturn. Moreover, Turkey is geopolitically within active social structures and has powerful political, social, and economic relations with Western and Eastern societies. Therefore, any event that develops in the East or the West can quickly and effectively affect Turkey's political, social, and economic structure.

Abstract

Shura is a decision-making model in Islamic governance that aims to make the right decisions for society in general and inclusively. While Allah has established the general framework for various issues, particularly administrative matters, the specific details are left to human discretion, to be determined through Shura and consultation. The significance of Shura is underscored in verse 38 of Surah Ash-Shura, where it is mentioned alongside fundamental Islamic principles such as prayer and zakat. Conversely, the democratic management model, a human construct, has evolved since ancient Greece, undergoing transformations resulting in diverse forms such as direct, representative, liberal, social, radical, dialogic, agonistic, and deliberative democracy. This study aims to compare the principles of Islamic governance with those of deliberative democracy. By analyzing their similarities and differences, this research seeks to evaluate the compatibility of these two governance frameworks. The findings provide insights into their potential alignment or divergence, contributing to a broader understanding of decision-making practices in diverse cultural and philosophical contexts.
