This thesis focuses on neoliberal structuration of the Turkish electricity sector from the combined perspective of international political economy and structural power; analyses the relationship between external and internal root causes of introduction of liberalisation, defines obstacles before completion of liberalisation process, and examines differences between introduction and stagnation phases of Turkish electricity liberalisation. It examines why and to what extent do changes in global power structures influence domestic energy policy preferences of Turkey. In other words, political economic determinants of an economic policy in energy sector will be explored, through lens of global power structures. Thus, a theoretically-informed practical approach to external and internal political economic features of electricity liberalisation process in a typical developing country and to transformative power structures in international system is presented which is strongly needed in energy studies literature. Besides, implications about Turkey’s place in the international political economy and Turkey’s domestic energy policy are made.

However, the transformation of economic thought from being the object of intellectual interest to being a separate discipline, accordingly its ...
