Abstract

The article aims at evaluating the formation of social orders based on the New Institutional Economics (NIE) approach, which defines institutions as the rules of the social game. This approach classifies institutions as formal and informal, and argues that this distinction has been crucial in understanding the rise of rule of law and democracies in the West. Accordingly, formal institutions gradually replaced informal ones and also improved economic performance. However, with a closer reading of the workings of the institutions and histories of non-Western societies, the interactions between formal and informal institutions become much more complex and their implications for economic performance turns out to be not eas- ily predictable. In the light of this complex interaction, the article proposes an alternative reading of the late Ottoman - Republican Turkey period.

Özet

Makale, toplumsal düzenin tesisi sürecini, kurumları toplumsal oyunun kuralları olarak tanımlayan Yeni Kurumsal İktisat (YKİ) yaklaşımı çerçevesinde ele almayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu yaklaşım, formel ve enformel kurumlar arasında bir ayrım yapmakta, ve bu ayrımı hukukun üstünlüğü ve daha geniş anlamda Batıda demokratikleşmeyi anlamada kullanmaktadır. Buna göre, zaman içerisinde formel kurumlar enformel kurumlara göre yaygınlaşmış ve bu dönüşüm iktisadi performansı da arttırmıştır. Ancak, kurumların çalışması daha derinlemesine ele alındığında ve Avrupa dışı toplumların tarihleri incelendiğinde formel ve enformel kurumlar arasındaki ilişkiler çok daha karmaşıklaşmakta, karşılık gelen iktisadi performansın öngörülebilirliği kaybolmaktadır. Makale, bu karmaşık ilişki ışığında, geç Osmanlı-Türkiye dönemine alternatif bir okuma önermektedir.
