Voting Power and the Measurement of Voting Power Indices of Grand National Assembly of Turkey: 1987-2011
Abstract :
This study aims to explain the conceptual and theoretical foundations of voting power, and to reveal the distribution of power among the ruling parties, coalitions and main opposition parties in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey during 1987- 2011. The voting power of these decision-making actors has been measured by Normalized Banzhaf Power Index with respect to daily representative mobility and qualified majority rule. The computed values have been reported in the form of graphs and tables after being transformed into time series. Graphs and tables show to what extent the Turkish political life was unstable and fragmented until recent past.
