The course has been prepared in two distinct parties: The first step encompasses the foundations and the structues of the French state. The second step sheds light on the development of the French State within the EU and on the international level. Taking into consideration that the modern Turkish Republic has been inspired largely from the French State structures and ideology, it would be obviously very helpful for the public administration students to be knowledgeable in this field.
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to;
understand and be knowledgeable about the French state apparatus and its functioning.
know about the history and historic developments of the French state and its structures
compare the French state structure, its ideology with that of the Turkish Republic, pertaining to the founding principles and functioning of the latter.
have a staunch knowledge on a political sciences field, where clichés are abundant.
analyse the state structure, its governance and decision-making process, to discern the roots of participation and transparency.
