Abstract

This article scrutinizes the growing importance of the construction and real estate sectors in the Turkish economy during the rule of the Justice and Development Party. In this respect, it has been shown by factual data that construction and real estate sectors have assumed pivotal roles in the economy as growth engines, and it has been argued that this construction boom has been made possible through the systematic choices of the JDP governments. The evaluation about motivations of this strategic choice has revealed that this choice is not merely a reflection of the ascending importance of built-environment production in contemporary capitalism that is taking place across the globe, but has been shaped by certain extra-economic factors that are related with the new hegemonic project of the JDP. In this context, the choice of construction has provided JDP the means to transform the power relations within the capitalist class by forming a capitalistclass fraction that is organically linked with the party as well as to integrate large masses into its hegemonic project through an Islamic-modernist discourse

Özet

Bu makale Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi’nin 2002 yılında iktidara gelişinden bu yana inşaat ve gayrimenkul sektörlerinin Türkiye ekonomisinde artan önemini konu edinmektedir. Bu kapsamda, AKP döneminde inşaat ve gayrimenkul sektörlerinin bir tür büyüme motoru olarak ekonominin merkezine yerleştiği verilerle ortaya konmuş ve yaşanan inşaat patlamasının AKP iktidarlarının stratejik tercihi sayesinde geliştiğini savunulmuştur. Bu tercihin arkasındaki motivasyonlarına dair değerlendirme, inşaat tercihinin günümüz kapitalizminde yapılı çevre üretiminin tüm dünyada önem kazanmasının Türkiye’ye yansımasından ibaret olmadığını, AKP’nin yeni hegemonya projesiyle ilintili bir dizi “ekonomi dışı” faktör tarafından da şekillendiğini göstermiştir. Bu bağlamda, inşaat tercihi söz konusu dönemde hem AKP’ye organik olarak bağlı bir sermaye fraksiyonu oluşturarak sermaye sınıfı içerisindeki güç dengelerini dönüştürebilmesine ve hem de AKP’nin İslami modernleşme söylemiyle geniş kitleleri kendi hegemonya projesine dahil edebilmesine olanak sağlamıştır.
