Doctrine — stated goals and content

Military junta following the 12 September 1980 coup; suspended parliament, banned parties, and executed the 1982 Constitution. Economic school: authoritarian-led market liberalisation — Özal's retention as economic chief preserved and deepened the January 1980 package (export subsidies, managed devaluation, financial-sector liberalisation, SEE restructuring) while the junta suppressed trade-union activity and held wage growth below inflation. Left-right axis: far-right authoritarian politically; right-market economically with substantial state-economic-enterprise footprint retained. Popularity: no elections 1980-83; 1982 constitutional referendum 91.4% yes under controlled conditions; November 1983 election was managed (only three junta-approved parties permitted) and unexpectedly delivered Özal's ANAP a majority — ending direct military rule. Coherence: internally coherent — pair authoritarian depoliticisation with market opening to lock in reforms that coalitions could not. This is the canonical bureaucratic-authoritarian liberalisation pattern (Turkey 1980 alongside Korea-Park, Chile-Pinochet).
