Abstract: The aim of this study is to measure political instability in Turkey for period 1955 through 2009 based on definitions used in new political economics literature. To accomplish the task, in the first place, data regarding social unrest and political violence are obtained through scanning daily Milliyet archive and using the criteria of “Taking part of the first page of the newspaper”. Events within the scope of two indicators are scaled again according to “unit event”. In the second stage, political instability indices are obtained by applying principal component method to these and the other indicators.
