The Political Communication Institute

The Political Communication Institute promotes the Turkish society to collaboratively produce solutions to problems by investigating and researching them through means of political and communication sciences.

“Good governance” mean is “active governance” in democracies. First of all governance should have capacity to represent, to combine and to settle with the several benefits of public. Moreover administration should have “create politics and ability to make improvements” for active administration.

Certainly, it is not easy to make agreement under its social aspect; and mostly administration can not make changes to get public reaction; making changes interference of governance can be result as a resistance mostly, government which refrains from reations doesn’t conclude this enterprises.

Unfortunately in our political culture disagreement has been emphasized instead of agreement. To make a concession from social understandings is perceived as a weakness. There is always a nervous tension between democracy which is an agreement regime and political culture which does not have any agreement.

In Turkey, there is a serious problem about “confidence” which is a really important fact for political culture. In society which is full of major people who not only do not trust each others but also sense of sharing is not developed alongside the feeling of living together with respect for differences. It is not possible to have a common cause and future perspectives in such a state-society setting. The lack of confidence between people effect the political arena and also it affects negatively Turkey in many years.

It is really hard to see society which is full of lack of confidence to solve the problems with hand in hand. First of all Turkey should build confidence at the societal level again. 
Political Communication Institute of TASAM; adopt a mission which converts the society to a different society which solve the problems together, trust each others, choice agreements instead of disagreements.
