As an important regional power in the Middle East,Turkey's political development model has been regarded as a sample of political democratization in the Middle East.The constitutional referendum in 2017 made the state regime change from parliamentary system to presidential system,which was once regarded as the retrogression of Turkey's democratization.The voices of support and opposition rose one after another and the political situation changed significantly.Political ecology is a comprehensive manifestation of a country's political stage.Analyzing the basic elements and generation mode of political ecology is conducive to understanding the political status of the country.This paper selects four representative political forces in the current Turkish political arena,and uses constructivism as an analytical tool to accurately analyze the current political ecology in Turkey.The following part analyzes the basic elements of Turkey's political ecology through the “leadership radiation” mechanism.This part focuses on how the four political forces,the Justice and Development Party(AKP),the Republican People's Party(CHP),the People's Democratic Party(HDP)and the Turkish military,form the dominant ideology of political forces based on the political thoughts of core leaders.Then through the ‘game of opposite identity' mechanism,the part analyzes how the basic elements determine the way of interaction between each other under the framework of democracy,and then form Turkey's current political ecology.In conclusion,the current situation of Turkey's political ecology is the situation of one-party dominance of the AKP will continue,and the main opposition forces are constantly weakening,which is difficult to compete with the AKP.It's hard to say whether the presidential system will again lead to authoritarian rule,in the foreseeable future,the personal power of President Erdogan will continue to grow and the political differentiation and contradictions of Turkey will be further deepened.
