The power effects of human rights reforms in Turkey: enhanced surveillance and depoliticisation
Bahçecik, Şerif Onur (2015-06-03)
While the perspective of 'liberalism of fear' assumes that human rights limit the despotic power of the state, this paper argues that human rights reforms promoted in the context of institution- and capacity-building programmes have had significant power effects by enhancing the disciplinary capacities of the Turkish state and blunting the transformative potential of rights claiming. The reforms increased state surveillance by rechanneling criminal justice processes towards producing evidence (such as telec...

The negative effects of construction boom on urban planning and environment in Turkey: Unraveling the role of the public sector

The literature emphasizes the role of public sector, especially the national governments in minimizing the negative impacts of construction activity. The related arguments mostly postulate that public sector is well...
The Effects of restructuring in the property development sector on urban processes: a case study on Erzurum and Kayseri
Dursun, Defne; Ersoy, Melih; Department of Urban Policy Planning and Local Governments (2015)
Urban processes are affected by the relation between capital accumulation processes and the production of built environment. Capital-switching approach assumes that the capital flows into the built environment to overcome its overaccumulation problems. Besides, the investments made on built environment are accepted as the locomotive of the economic development through their backward and forward linkages. These economically reductionist mainstream approaches fail to explain the Turkish experience. This thesi...
The impact of electricity market liberalization in Turkey "Free consumer" and distributional monopoly cases
Bahce, Serdal; Taymaz, Erol (Elsevier BV, 2008-07-01)
Electricity sector has grown substantially in Turkey since the early 1960s as a result of rapid industrialization and urbanization. The vertically integrated state-owned company had a legally established monopoly on the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity in Turkey. With the support and encouragement of international organizations like the World Bank, Turkey has initiated a comprehensive program to liberalize and privatize the electricity market in 2001. The liberalization of the electr...
