Abstract

In the present study, the purpose was to examine Adnan Menderes from the perspective of Elite Theory. For this purpose, Historical Research, Content Analysis, and Leader Analysis Methods were employed in the study. After information was provided about the elite and the Elite Theory in the study, the life of Menderes was examined in terms of the Elite Theory. At the end of the study, it was concluded that Menderes, who was a socio-economic and political elite, was banned from power “by force” in line with Pareto’s “Elite Rotation Theory”. It was determined that when Menderes was in the ruling elite position, he acted in line with Michels’ Bronze Law Theory of Oligarchy. Finally, it was also concluded that the negative relations of Menderes with other elites were contrary to Mills’ Power Elite Theory.
