Example of japan in the process of development and modernization: A comparison with Turkey

In our study, Japanese development was followed along with the background and attention was paid not to fall into anacronism. The Tokugawa period, the Meiji period, the post-World War period and the post-World War period were examined separately. We tried to monitor carefully how processes were carried out and how transformations were experienced in each cycle. Organic relations between these periods have been revealed and common values that map each period have been determined and these values have been recorded together with the results of the additions and interventions. However, it was tried to explain how the Japanese modernization and development process nurtured each other. The historical and physical common points between Turkey and Japan were first marked. Later, the process of meeting and modernization of the Turkish Republic with liberal values from Ottoman to Republic period to the present day has been examined and this process has been evaluated on the axis of the process in Japan. The experiences of Turkey and Japan have been compared to each other in order to uncover the structures necessary for the capitalist and modern society. The effects of the Soviet model and the US model on Turkey have been discussed and the foundations of stability, which is considered indispensable for development, have been examined in Turkey. The impact of democratization and modernisation on development has been highlighted by comparing the main points in question with those in Japan. In the final part of the study, similar development and modernization steps were determined for Japan and Turkey. These similar problems and events are marked with the answers and reactions of the two countries. Finally, in Japan, recommendations were produced for Turkey under the guidance of the answers to these problems.
