The study of money and banking is largely considered the purview of economics. Nevertheless, money theme cannot be neglected by social analysis for money is a social construct, embedded in social interactions. Financial system, money̕s highest level of institutionalization, also cannot be abstracted from social and political sub-structure. In this thesis we tried to look at the way in which Turkish financial transformation in early 1980̕s has found its reflections on social sphere; in terms of changing social relations and institutions. We first presented a short history of Turkish financial system, then we focused on the essential features of 1980 Transformation, covering its political background. The emphasis is made on power relations between bureaucracy, political will and financial market participants. We also combined the main features of mainstream theoretical approaches to money and finance from the fields of sociology and we put current debates on Turkish financial liberalization into the context of sociology. As we considered the ways financial relations shape societal developments and political processes, we tried to identify how debt-money system had permeated further in the social relations through financialization of society.

An empirical study on early warning systems for banking sector Boyraz, Mustafa Fatih; Gaygısız Lajunen, Esma; Department of Economics (2012) Early Warning Systems (EWSs) for banking sectors are used to measure occurrence risks of banking crises, generally observed with a rundown of bank deposits and widespread failures of financial institutions. In countries with a small number of banks, for example Turkey with 48 banks (BDDK, 2011), every bank may be considered to have a systematic importance since the failure of any individual bank may carry a potential threat to lead to a banking crisis. Taking into account this fact the present study focuses...
International neoliberal development regime and regional development banks (African Development Bank, Asian Development Bank and Inter-American Development Bank) Hecan, Mehmet; Tayfur, Mehmet Fatih; Department of International Relations (2017) This thesis aims to illuminate regional development banks’ (RDBs) role in global diffusion of neoliberal policies since the early 1980’s. In this regard, it argues that along with the Bretton Woods Institutions (BWIs), the RDBs have also facilitated the spread of neoliberal policies, as these banks have practiced similar conditional/policy-based lending. In order to better explain the complementary roles of BWIs and RDBs within an analytical framework, the thesis employs the international relations (IR) con...
Analyzing the profit efficiency of the Turkish banking sector after the BRSA restructuring program in 2001: an empirical study using stochastic frontier approach between the years of 2002-2009 Hatunoğlu, Hande; Akbostancı Özkazanç, Elif; Department of Economics (2012) This thesis analyzes the profit efficiency of the Turkish banking sector after the restructuring program by using Stochastic Frontier Approach. 28 banks are included in the analysis and the data belongs to the period 2002-2009. Profit efficiency scores of 28 banks are estimated by SFA. When the efficiency scores are analyzed according to the ownership status, profit efficiency scores of the state owned banks are found higher than other bank groups. Moreover, according to the asset size, large scale banks’ p...
