Bilişim teknolojilerindeki gelişmelerin anayasal fonksiyonlar üzerindeki dönüştürücü etkisi - Aktaş, Duygu Şimşek (My University, 2019)
ÖZETTarihte gerçekleşmiş teknolojik devrimler arasında en büyük sosyal ve kültürel değişiklikleri meydana getiren ve kendini sürekli artan bir hızla yenilemeyi sürdüren, dijital devrim olmuştur. Egemenliğin bileşenlerinden olan siyasal iktidar da insan yaşamındaki ve paradigmasındaki bu global ölçekli ve bütüncül değişime karşı kayıtsız kalamamaktadır. Dijital devrimin siyasal iletişim ve siyasal katılım alanındaki katkılarının, anayasal fonksiyonları yerine getiren kişi ve kurumlar üzerinde de etki yaratması beklenmekte ve hâlihazırda gözlemlenmektedir. Bunun yanında yurttaşlar da kolektif karar alma süreçlerine etki edebilecek yeni teknolojik olanakları gözlemleyerek artık daha aktif katılımcılar olabileceklerini düşünmekte ve hatta çoğu zaman kamusal kararlara doğrudan yön verebileceklerine inanmaktadır. Bu tez yasama, yürütme ve yargı organlarının yapısının ve işleyişinin bilişim teknolojilerindeki gelişmeler ile birlikte dönüşümünü incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu dönüşüm incelenirken ayrıca bilişim teknolojilerinin siyasal iktidarın kullanılmasına ve denetlenmesine yurttaşları dâhil etme biçimine de değinilecektir. Çalışma boyunca Türkçe ve İngilizce literatürün yanı sıra karşılaştırmalı hukuktan uygulamalı örneklere de başvurulacaktır.

ABSTRACTAmong all technological breakthroughs that the history has seen, the digital revolution is the one that has led to the largest social and cultural alternation and maintained a constantly accelerating self-renewal. Political power as a component of sovereignty also fails to ignore this holistic shift in human life and paradigm. It is expected and already observed that the contribution made by the digital revolution to political communication and political participation is soon to have an impact on the persons and institutions practicing the constitutional functions as well. At the same time, citizens, as they observe the new technological opportunities that may affect collective decision-making processes, assume that they can become more active participants and often believe that they can dominate public decisions. This dissertation aims to examine the structural and functional transformation of the legislative, executive and judicial bodies along with the developments in information technologies. At the same time, it will be explained how information technologies support citizens’ participation in processes of enjoying and controlling the political power. Besides applied examples from comparative law, references will also be made to the reviewed literature in Turkish and in English throughout the study.
