This paper grapples with the state's response to contemporary urban movements. In light of recent debates on the changing nature of urban movements, it presents an overview of the responses of states in different modes of regulation, ranging from a Keynesian regime to sequential stages of neoliberalisation. Examples of authoritarianism and the entrepreneurial roles of the state are drawn from the Turkish experience to show how economic liberalism can be combined with increasing social control, restrictions, penalisation and exclusion. Reviewing Turkish urban policies and practice, the urban mobilisations against them, and the varying positions of the state will shed light not only on what is happening in Turkey but also on the transformative nature of neoliberalisation.

Local Entrepreneurialism and State Rescaling in Turkey Bayırbağ, Mustafa Kemal (SAGE Publications, 2010-02-01) The paper examines the links between the rise of local entrepreneurialism and state rescaling in a neo-liberal context. The thrust of the article is that the agency of localities, increasingly manifested in the form of local entrepreneurialism, emerges through the political activism of a local bourgeoisie, in pursuit of a multiscalar local accumulation strategy. The article focuses on the spatial interest representation strategies of the local bourgeoisie introducing the concept of scalar strategies of repr...
Urban transformation of a socialist city: a case study of East Berlin - Alexanderplatz Eriç, Dilra Nazlı; Sargın, Güven Arif; Department of Architecture (2008) This thesis examines the role of politics in transformation of urban spaces. In this regard, the main focus is Berlin because the city represents how politics of each era is effective in urban development processes: Once a divided city after the World War II where Berlin manifested both parties’ ideological sentience and related urban strategies, the city soon came under successive transformations in accordance with the expectations of the new regime upon its re-unification. In this framework, by studying t...
Bir Biyopolitik Süreç Olarak Mekansal Damgalama: Hacıhüsrev Örneği Yılgür, Egemen (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 2018-4-12) Bu metinde Agamben’in biyopolitika ve Wacquant’ın mekânsal damgalama yaklaşımlarının sunduğu analiz araçlarının yardımıyla Hacıhüsrev Mahallesi’nin kriminal bir bölge olarak kodlanması süreci tartışma konusu yapılmaktadır. Çıplak hayat konumuna indirgenmiş homo sacerler olarak peripatetik Roman gruplarına mensup bireylerin yerleştiği Hacıhüsrev mahallesinin, dönemin kitle iletişim araçlarında üretilen popüler suç anlatısının da yardımıyla damgalanarak istisna halinin süreklileştiği bir mekân parçası haline ...
State tradition and business in Turkey: The Case of TUSIAD Doğangün, Gökten; Yalman, Osman Galip; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2005) This thesis attempts to make an analysis of the state tradition perspective by particularly focusing on the relations between the state and big bourgeoisie represented by TÜSİAD in the post-1980 period. As this perspective has been hegemonic in discourse in examining state-society relations in Turkey in recent decades, thereby dominating the political, academic, and business circles, it becomes very important for Turkish politics students to understand what is implied by this phrase in order to conceive the...
Proactive approach to urban design case study : South Shoreditch / Hackney, London Borazancı, Duygu; Günay, Baykan; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2010) This thesis analyzes the process of proactive urban design in a theoretical framework. It asks searching questions about how built environments are conceived of, designed, delivered, protected, enhanced and managed, and it explores these by examining the proactive planning practices in Britain. It defines the proactive approach firstly as; how both the spatial policy and detailed guidance express and prescribe the desired physical form, and secondly; how this is pursued through active negotiation. While enc...
