@article{2020,title={Kadro Journal’s Role in During the Theorisation of Kemalism },abstractNode={In the 1930s, the Kadro Magazine played a critical role in the transformation of Kemalism from practice to theory. During the Inter-war Period, The Journal sought ways for Kemalism to become an independent and unique theory in economy and social policies, especially in foreign policy. This process led the magazine towards a search for independence from Western states representing capitalism and the USSR representing socialism. The new orientation, which was described as the “Third Way” in the 1930s and sought to be a solution to the urgent needs of the period, enabled Kemalism to settle into a model of “statist”, “authoritarian” but facing socialism in the economy in the 1930s. The statist and authoritarian aspect of these principles, which the Kadro put forward under the shadow of the power of the period, ensured that Kemalism was similar to the fascism that was rising in continental Europe in the relevant period. In response to the statist direction in the political direction of the magazine, the Kadro that reflects the spirit of the 1930s and proposes a veiled socialist economy, will become the side of the struggle between Celal Bayar and Ismet Inönü in power and will be defeated in Atatürk's short-term preferences. The closure of the magazine by Atatürk himself has been interpreted as a difference of opinion between the magazine and Atatürk. This study aims to discuss whether the relations between Atatürk and the Kadro are in line with the general comments made in light of the current findings.},author={İhsan Ömer ATAGENÇ},year={2020},journal={Turkish Studies-Social Sciences}}
