DEVLET
Conventional political science often focuses on the distribution of power and wealth, leaving the most fundamental question unanswered: How does a society truly progress? Emre Şentürk's “Devlet” confronts this challenge directly, proposing a new paradigm for statecraft grounded not in fleeting ideologies but in the timeless principles of societal value creation. At its core, the book introduces Genuine Knowledge Production — the unique, intrinsic value each individual can contribute when their potential is realised. From this principle, the comprehensive framework of Devletism emerges, a model that reorients politics towards cultivating human potential.
As the intellectual cornerstone of Essydo Politics, “Devlet” translates its principles into direct action. It provides the analytical rigour and moral compass that guide all our endeavors, from the in-depth analyses in Essydo Magazine to our transformative governance architecture services of Essydo Policy Solutions. This work is the definitive text for leaders seeking a resilient, principled and effective approach to building the future.
