Abstract

This article aims to make a critical analysis of the bloc sales of large scale state enterprises such as PETKİM, Türk Telekom, ERDEMİR and TÜPRAŞ privatized during the AKP period to identify the specific political policies and strategies the Party has pursued in this process and the implications of these on the state's neoliberal transformation in Turkey. Within this framework, it highlights how the AKP has effectively turned these bloc sales into a process that proved its neoliberal competence and how the state has acquired a specific "merchant" character thenafter. The article concludes however that behind this appearance of "success" lies a political process, which has deepened the subordination of the state by capital.

Özet

Bu makale, AKP döneminde Türkiyede gerçekleştirilen büyük ölçekli özelleştirmelerden PETKİM, Türk Telekom, ERDEMİR ve TÜPRAŞın blok satış süreçlerinin eleştirel bir çözümlemesini yaparak, AKPnin bu süreçte izlediği özgül siyasi politika ve stratejileri tespit etmeyi ve bunların devletin neoliberal dönüşümü açısından anlamını tartışmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu çerçevede makale, AKPnin bu blok satışları neoliberal siyasi rüşdünü ispat etmek amacıyla etkili bir şekilde kullandığını ileri sürmekte ve bu süreçte devletin kazandığı tüccar niteliğe dikkat çekmektedir. Ancak makale sonuç olarak, bu başarı görüntüsünün arkasında, sermayenin devlet üzerindeki tahakkümünü derinleştiren siyasi bir sürecin bulunduğunu vurgulamaktadır.
