An extensive literature has examined many of the consequences of foreign bank participation in emerging markets. However, research to date has largely focused on the effects of foreign bank participation in domestic banks and yet revealed little about the situation for foreign banks. The thesis, examines Citibank in Turkey as a particular case in order to address this gap. The results show that Citibank‟s growth and presence in the Turkish banking sector depends significantly on: ownership advantages related to the bank‟s dimensional scale; the need to follow its clients who have already expanded their activities into the Turkish market in order to save their pre-existing relationships; and the access to positive externalities offered by the Turkish market.

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...

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...
