Abstract
This thesis analyzes the left of center politics implemented by the Republican People’s Party (RPP) in Turkey from 1965 to 1980 in an emprical and historical context. The adoption of left of center stance, the attendant conceptual confusion, the unceasing intra-party competition for power, the social democratic discourse and certainly the elections and the electorate will be discussed along with domestic and foreign affairs as well as the socioeconomic transformation of the particular period.
