Sumario:This article examines how civilian-military relations in Turkey have  transformed from a guardianship of the military to civilian control. To  this end, it covers the following issues. It surveys the ways in which the military has instituted its influence over civilians from the  1960 military coup up until the early 2000s. It elaborates major  events and processes that took place during the 2000s under the  AKP governments. Then, the paper describes the reasons behind the  failed coup attempt of July 15, 2016, before concluding with a  discussion of the implications of the coup attempt. There will be both  immediate and long-term implications of the radical changes that the Turkish government made to civilianmilitary relations and to the organizational structure of the  armed forces after the recent failed coup attempt.
