This thesis examines the dynamics of the emergence of Anatolian capital and its politicization processes within the context of Turkey's capitalist transformation. The transformation of productive forces during the transition from the Ottoman Empire to the Republic, along with the formation of the industrial and commercial bourgeoisie, laid the fundamental groundwork for the institutionalization of capitalist relations. The entry into the expansion phase of capitalism after 1960, the state's directive economic policies, and import substitution industrialization strategies accelerated the emergence of small and medium-sized capital groups in Anatolia in the economic sphere. This period is also considered as the process of political subjectification of Islamism, which was excluded in the context of the Republic's modernizing paradigms. The prominent National View movement of this period articulated the economic interests of Anatolian capital with Islamist ideology, bringing these two elements together on a common platform of political discourse and social mobilization. In this respect, this thesis addresses the positioning of Anatolian capital not only as an economic actor but also as a political and ideological subject shaped within hegemonic struggles.
