Industrial Policy in Turkey: Rise, Retreat and Return

By Mina Toksoz, Emertius Profesor in the Department of Political and International Studies William Hale, Mustafa Kutlay

Book Overview

At a time when many advanced and emerging economies are adopting more active industrial policies, this book provides an in-depth historical-empirical account of industrial policy in Turkey - its rise, retreat and return. This study adopts a multidisciplinary approach and covers the role of the state from Turkey's initial industrialisation to the current period of restructuring and potential technological upgrading of its manufacturing base. The analysis traces how industrial policy has been shaped by state capacity, the waves of reforms following economic crises, the dearth of long-term finance for industrialisation and, more recently, the need to address issues such as low-tech industrial structure and pre-mature de-industrialisation.
