Abstract
AbstractThis article explains CIMER (Presidency's Communication Centre) in Turkey, one of the e‐government applications in Turkish public administration that transform political communication and political participation from theory to practice. In this context, it examines the debates that CIMER, which is described as an important institution in the context of political participation, has allegedly turned into an institution that contributed to authoritarianism in Turkey in the following years. Methodologically, legal regulations on the historical establishment of CIMER, public statements of CIMER's bureaucrats and news about CIMER reflected in the media will be used as the primary research data. The result obtained from these data shows the originality of the study and its contribution to the field. Unlike the studies conducted so far, which are limited to the positive contributions of CIMER and public policy analysis, CIMER has been explored as a tool of authoritarianism on the axis of political science.
