Abstract
Use of The Dream of Power Legitimation of The Turkish State Tradition
Relationship between authority and people is an extremely important phenomenon for historians. Not only today but also in former times those in power have used some models of relationship with masses. Even the most authoritarian management models have used some methods of persuation as well as force for people to adopt their power. We call these persuation methods as “legitimation”. It is possible to see a lot of methods of legitimation in Turkish History. In this article we evaluate the dream which Turks have used as a legitimation method.<
