The Neoliberal Restructuring of Turkey's Social Security System
Cosar, Simten; Yegenoglu, Metin (Monthly Review Foundation, 2009-04-01)
For almost thirty years Turkish capitalism has taken the form of neoliberalism. Turkey's subordination to the world neoliberal order started in the late 1970s and was pursued consistently after the 1980 military coup. The coup reflected Hayek's contention that a transition to "free markets" may require a dictatorship.1 By dissolving political and social opposition, the coup provided the necessary political environment for the shift from the import substitution industrialization that framed economic policy s...
The Erdoganization of Turkish politics and the role of the opposition
Selcuk, Orcun; Hekimci, Dilara; Erpul, Onur (2019-10-01)
This article examines the personalization of Turkish politics during Recep Tayyip Erdogan's third term as prime minister. While many studies focus on the prime minister's growing personal domination of the executive branch, we consider how leaders of the opposition reflected and reinforced that trend. To test our hypotheses on this 'Erdoganization,' we employed a content analysis to consider Kemal Kilicdaroglu and Devlet Bahceli's speeches at weekly parliamentary group meetings of the CHP and the MHP. Our f...
THE NEOLIBERAL TRANSFORMATION OF AGRICULTURAL POLICIES IN TURKEY AND THEIR MANIFESTATION IN THE HAZELNUT PRODUCTION
Çavdar, Ayça; Özdemir, Yonca; Political Science and International Relations (2021-8-20)
The fact that many hazelnut producers have been moving away from hazelnut to the production of alternative crops is highly ironic as Turkey is one of the top producers of hazelnut in the world. The intriguing migration of producers from hazelnut to crops like kiwi needs to be explained for a variety of reasons. First of all, this has serious implications for the livelihoods of producers, and secondly it has implications for the regional and national economy. This thesis aims to analyze national and internat...
A New type of middle-class parenting in response to the recent changes in the education system
Kızıl, Özge; Şen, Mustafa; Department of Sociology (2019)
This thesis analyzes the experiences of lower-middle and middle-class parents, who embraced secular values, with the recent changes in the education system in Turkey. It argues that changes made in neoliberal and neo-conservative lines within nearly twenty years affect the secular middle-class people in terms of their reproduction of class position and their lifestyles. The fear of not reproducing their class position and lifestyles leads these parents to make great financial and emotional sacrifices for th...
