Abstract

Economy and policy are always in mutual interaction. Especially the fact that sharp judgement between economical variables and democratization cannot be put forward shows that the relationship between political instability and economical variables should be analysed. In recent studies political stability or instability variables including more comprehensive variables instead of democratization variables have been used. The main aim of this study is to analyse the effects of political instability, which is usually seen in developing countries, on economic growth via panel data analysis. The relationship is analysed by the "Political Instability - Growth Kuznet's Curve" approach. It has been concluded that when political instability exceeds a certain level, growth rate diminishes and that when political instability is controlled at a bearable level in connection with certain factors such as the structure of the country and the ability of her to cope with the problems, growth rate is affected positively. The case is explained by a cubic structure in functional sense.

Özet

Ekonomi ve politika sürekli olarak karşilikli bir etkileşim içerisindedir. Özellikle ekonomik değişkenlerle demokratikleşme arasinda ilişki hakkinda kesin bir yargiya varilamamasi, politik istikrarsizlik ile ekonomik değişkenler arasinda ortaya çikan ilişkilerin incelenmesinin gerekliliğini ortaya koymaktadir. Son dönemdeki çalişmalarda salt demokratikleşme bileşenleri yerine daha geniş bileşenleri kapsayan politik istikrar ya da politik istikrarsizlik değişkenleri kullanilmaktadir. Bu çalişmanin temel amaci; Gelişmekte olan ülkelerde daha siklikla yaşanan politik istikrarsizliğin ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkilerini panel veri analiz yöntemi ile incelemektir. Söz konusu ilişki "Politik İstikrarsizlik-Büyüme Kuznets Eğrisi" yaklaşimi ile analiz edilmiştir. Politik istikrarsizlik belli bir düzeyi aştiğinda büyümenin nispi olarak azaldiği, ilgili ülkenin yapisina, sorunlarini aşma kapasitesine bağli olarak istikrarsizlik belli bir düzeye çekildiğinde ise büyümenin olumlu yönde bir gelişme sergilediği sonucuna ulaşilmiştir. Durum, fonksiyonel anlamda, kübik bir yapi ile açiklanabilir.
