Abstract
The major motivation behind this thesis comes from an interest in the processes of
depoliticisation and re-politicisation in economic management. The focus on the
interaction between the national state and the global social relations positions the
main problematic of the thesis within critical international political economy
(IPE). This interaction is investigated in the context of the specific case study of
Turkey. Given the fact that the existent literature on depoliticisation largely builds
on the experiences of the advanced capitalist states and their managers, the thesis
aims to contribute to this body of literature and assess the applicability of the
conceptual framework in a different domestic political setting. On the other hand
it aims to build on and contribute to the critiques of the existent literature on
Turkey in the sense that the latter is often portrayed within an exceptional outlook
and treated as a stand-alone case. The second chapter provides a critical overview
of the literature on the conceptualisation of state and social relations in Turkey.
The third chapter reviews the place of the state and the political and defines
(de)politicisation not only as a governing strategy of the state managers to manage
capitalist social relations but also in broader terms; as open-ended process in so
far as its effects extend beyond the governmental realm. Chapter four proceeds to
demonstrate the applicability of such a framework in the Turkish case through an
evaluation of governing tactics and strategies in the post-WWII context. The
subsequent three chapters explore the evolution of crisis and restructuring of
social relations for the periods 1994-2001, 2002-2005 and 2006-present in an
attempt to investigate the effects of the governing strategy and process in material
and perceptional terms.
