Overview
The modern concept of a deep state is associated with Turkey, and the secret network established in 1923 by Ataturk. , Similar ideas are older. The Greek language κράτος εν κράτει, (kratos en kratei) was later adopted into Latin as imperium in imperio or status in statu).

The derin devlet has its roots in the late Ottoman period. The Committee for Union and Progress, a reformist movement had evolved into an organization of young military officers and became the force behind several coups and assassinations in the early 20th century along with networks of secret police organizations. This tradition continued in the post-war era, and also took the form of anti-communist operations funded by the CIA. They were alliwas comprised of in 1974, by Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit. It was Political debate surrounding the separation of church and state previously revolved around the perception that if left unchecked the Church might turn into a kind of State within a State, an illegitimate encroachment of the State's natural civil power.

In the field of political science, this pop culture concept is studied within the literature on the state. Current literature on the state generally traces a lineage to Bringing the State Back In (1985) and remains an active body of scholarly research to this day. Within this literature, the state is understood as both venue (a set of rules under which others act and interact) as well as actor (with its own agenda). An example of a non-conspiratorial version of the 'state as actor' from the empirical scholarly literature would be "doing truth to power" (as a play on speaking truth to power, which is what journalists often aspire to do) as studied by Todd La Porte. Under this dual understanding, the conspiratorial version of the deep state concept would be one version of the 'state as actor' while the non-conspiratorial version would be another version of the 'state as venue.'

The fundamental takeaway from the scholarly literature on the dual nature of the state is that the 'state as actor' (deep state) is a characteristic of all states which can have both good and bad effects and should not be seen as bad by default.
