Abstract
Hesap Verme Sorumluluğu ve Saydamlığın iyi yönetişimin temel unsurları olduğu düşünüldüğünde, Türkiye’de siyasetin finansmanında bu kavramların hayata geçirilmesi yönetişimin sağlanması açısından önemlidir. Çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye ‘deki politik sistemin ve siyasetin finansmanının doğasının daha akılcı bir zemine taşınmasının yollarını araştırmaktır. Çalışmada gerek siyasette gerekse siyasetin finansmanında, hesap verme sorumluluğu ve saydamlığın içselleştirilmesi önerilmektedir. Demokratik kuralların amacı sosyal bir sermaye olarak iyi yönetişimin kullanılırlığını artırmaktır. Çalışmada siyasetin finansmanında mevcut uygulamalara değinilecek ve önerilerde bulunulacaktır. Böylece çalışmayla genel olarak Türkiye’de siyasetin finansmanının temel yapısı ve gelişmesi irdelenmiş ve yıllar itibariyle iyi yönetişim etkileri üzerinde durulmuş olacaktır.

Abstract
Increasing financial resource needs of political parties has become a pressing issue incontemporary politics, which can be attributable a number of reasons including development of sophisticated information technologies, undertaking professional assistance for public opinion surveys, the importance of visuality. Considering that Turkish political and legal system impose restrictions on private donations to political parties, and also due to the fact that membership fees are rather low, the need to rely on public resources has increased in the recent decades.
Considering that accountability and transparency are essential part of good governance, the financing of political parties in Turkey results in a number of issues in relations to the conduct of good governance. This study, hence, aims to explore the Turkish political system in locating the rationale and nature of political financing in Turkey. Through a consequentialist approach, this study suggests that accountability and transparency must be endogenised in political and also political party financing structures and strategies so that good government should be essentialised by the Parliament, which is supposed to run on democratic rules aiming to maximise good governance as a social capital. Therefore, current practice as well as the development trajectories of political financing is examined by this study to identify the developments and general pattern of Turkish political financing and its implications for good governance over the years.
