Tematem tego artyułu jest relacja jaka zachodzi pomiędzy demokracją a kulturą polityczną. Autorka skoncentrowała się głównie na praktykach demokratycznych w tureckiej kulturze demokratycznej. Jasne jest, że system polityczny łączy się z kulturą polityczną społeczeństw. Powstaje jednak pytanie w jaki sposób odróżnić kulturę polityczną od innych zjawisk? Celem tego artykułu jest wskazanie głównej roli jaką pełni kultura polityczna, która oddziałuje na różne poziomy tolerancji, zaufania interpersonalnego, itd., jak również odpowiada za adaptację instytucji demokratycznych do obecnego systemu politycznego. Główne problemy życia politycznego Turcji są podejmowane w tym artykule z perspektywy relacji jakie zachodzą pomiędzy kulturą polityczną a demokracją. Zaprezentowano koncepcje kultury politycznej, refleksje o wpływie czynników politycznych i gospodarczych, wpływie struktury społecznej, jak również wskazano kompleksowość relacji pomiędzy nimi. Stąd obserwuje się, że stabilna demokracja nie jest dziełem przypadku, ale rezultatem oddziaływania przywołanych czynników.

The subject of this article is political culture and its relationship with democracy. The article is focused mainly on Turkish political culture and democratic practices. It is clear that the political system is directly connected with the political culture of society. But how could we distinguish political culture from other things or do we even have to? The purpose of this article is to present and evaluate the main role of political culture, which affects levels of tolerance, interpersonal trust, etc., as well as the adaption of democratic institutions to the current system. The main problems of Turkish political life are discussed in the article with the perspective of the relationship between political culture and democracy. The aim of this article is to present concepts of cultural orientations, the reflection of economic and political factors, social structures, as well as complex and unclear relations between them, which are simultaneously linked to a stable democracy. Therefore, it can be observed that stable democracy is not a coincidence but a result of all mentioned factors.
