Since the Justice and Development Party’s (AKP) ascension in 2002, Türkiye’s higher education governance has undergone a profound transformation, recalibrating the intersections of knowledge, national identity, and religious values within a broader project of Erdoğanism civilizational doctrine. The main research question is: How are Erdoğan’s theopolitical policies represented in policy documents, institutional reforms, or official speeches, and how do these representations lead to changes in patterns of understanding, epistemic value systems, and academic behavior. Relying on “Gadame hermeneutics,” the concept of “theopolitics,” and “Governmental Rationality,” this study considers the governance of higher education as a meaning-making process through which epistemic and ethical norms are redefined.Through a qualitative hermeneutic discourse analysis of policy texts, official rhetoric, and institutional reforms related to the Council of Higher Education (YÖK) from 2002 to 2025, the study identifies four primary mechanisms: the reconstruction of the “ideal student” as a moral-civilizational subject; the centralization of rector appointments to maintain interpretive control; the prioritization of “civilizational truth” in epistemic restructuring; and the emergence of an “atmospheric governance” that normalizes loyalty, overt religiosity, and discursive caution. These mechanisms culminate in a form of “cognitive governance” that aligns internal thought with institutional compliance, fostering a “civilizational habitus” and “civilizational pedagogy” that, while bolstering ideological cohesion, creates inherent tensions with the demands of scientific innovation and critical inquiry.
