A start, but still very nebulous...you see one cannot adequately define deep state without calling out specifically the groups or families (of groups) involved and their specific objectives...so can you be more specific and really try to nail it down...?
On top of it, each specific country is likely to have different constellation of what a Deep State is there...

“Be careful playing with the deep-state idea, because it can so easily get out of control that it becomes a monster that helps whoever’s in charge curb freedom and intimidate dissidents, because it’s such a nebulous concept,” said Soner Cagaptay, who directs the Turkish Research Program at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. “You don't have to prove that it exists. Once [the notion is] out there, and the public starts to believe it, anybody can be attached to it.”
