Abstract
This study examines the changing form in the territorial organization of the state, which is assumed as the dependent variable of socioeconomic formation. Also the thesis defines state-territory relation as a power problem. The theme focuses on the administration of Turkish departments with the historical background of Ottoman Empire. In traditional Turkish public administration system, the departments are organized as both central and local administrative units. The territorial policy of the Republic is developed against Ottoman period and the state organization is based on departments. And the Ottoman provinces are abolished. The general authority has been left to central administration at the department level. The local administration has been serviced behind the central part. Briefly, the territorial organization of the Republic has built in the rejection of provinces, and withdrawing of local administration. Since 1980, neoliberal reforms have been advanced by solving this mechanism. Now, global actors are demanding local administration and province system instead of central administration. This study is trying to explain the changing form in the territorial organization of the state by historical research. The territorial organization of the state in feudal society is examined through Ottoman model, furthermore the administration of departments in Turkey presents the movement of the state on territory in the capitalist society. If this study contributes to administrative theory, besides developing a scientific view on the current public reform process, it will have been attained to its goal.
