“…In this context, the events characterizing the Turkish political arena are quite peculiar and offer interesting analytical insights that differentiate the movement from other countries. The economic backdrop suffered by the country in 2001, has produced a set of specific policy responses, which led Turkey to installing a set of radical neoliberal reforms (Bakir 2009) at the expense of the welfare state. As documented for example by Bakir, the economic resistance of Turkey to the financial crisis that hit the world from 2008 onwards shows evidence of a specific institutional rigidity that has focused 'on the achievement of price stability and budget balance where employment, social welfare and industrial policies are delegated to a residual category' (Bakir 2009, 82).…”

Gezi Park represents a unique example of a mobilization process focused on the right to public space and democracy in Turkey, where forms of bottom up active citizenship have emerged in order to bring forward demands for environmental and social justice. This paper is focused on the role of social media in triggering the protests and in establishing these two central frames. By conducting a discourse analysis of social media content, we provide an overview of the principal narratives that emerged during the days of the Gezi movement. Our article is centrally focused on the adoption of a connective action framework. We argue that social media in occupygezi played the role of mobilizing agent that brought together a heterogeneous mix of participants and offered the chance to personalize the individual grievances that were expressed and promoted by the participants.

“…Following the November 2002 elections, new Justice and Development Party government successfully implemented this program, which was revised in early 2002 to cover the 2002–2004 periods. Following the Turkish crisis in 2001 and before the global credit crunch in 2008 (i.e., between 2002 and 2007), GDP growth rate and inflation rate averaged 6.8% and 13.8%, respectively (Bakir 2009). The public sector scored well in public finance and debt‐related indicators due to a primary surplus, which averaged above 5% of GDP during the same period.…”

Recent studies on institutional theory and the public policy field called for efforts to pry open the black box of institutional and policy change. This article offers a response to this call. It demonstrates that historical and discursive institutionalist approaches are complementary to explain how and why institutional change occurs. In addition, it shows how these approaches can add value to and benefit from the public policy and administration fields that seek to explain policy change and success. In particular, it emphasizes the interactions between structure and agency that contribute to the change. The empirical finding is based on qualitative analysis of central banking reform in Turkey. It suggests that institutional and policy change is more likely to occur when policy entrepreneurs, with joint membership in domestic and transnational policy communities, mediate various ideas and discourse within and among these communities in a punctuated institutional equilibrium.

Since its emergence in the 1970s, international political economy (IPE) has been one of the main subfields of International Relations (IR) in North America and Britain. The past two decades have witnessed a growing academic interest in IPE among Turkish IR scholars. This study explores the emergence, evolution and the current state of IPE studies in Turkey. Based on an original dataset, it examines the research dimension of Turkish IPE and presents a comprehensive overview of the thematic, theoretical and methodological orientations of the publications of Turkish IPE scholars. It also offers implications on the sociology of IPE in Turkey.
