Political Economy of Development in Turkey

Adopting a political-economy perspective, this book is an original collection of research chapters that focus on Turkey's economic-development experience from the nineteenth century to the present. It provides a systematic and chronological examination of Turkey's major historical dynamics in the economic and socio-political spheres. The chapters are organized according to the consecutive phases of Turkey's political-economic development. Each chapter not only reflects on the country-specific aspects of those development phases, but also clarifies the dependence of domestic-policy orientations on the dynamics of the world economy. As such, the book provides a historically-conscious, political-economic account of Turkey's dependent-development experience. The book serves as a quality reference on the political economy of modern Turkey, bringing together fourteen prominent experts as contributing authors who have devoted their intellectual lives to the understanding and explanation of political-economic dynamics in both Turkey and the world. All contributors write on a historical period of the Turkish economy in which they are most specialized. This aspect of the book is a momentous advantage in the field of Turkey's political economy, enabling the highest degree of academic expertise to concentrate in each chapter.
