“…Yet, the fall of the inflation rate from three digit-figures in 1980 to 35-40% in the subsequent few years and the achievement of an approximately 6% annual growth rate of the GDP during 1981-1988 that were praised by the IMF as a successful implementation of structural adjustment reforms occurred in a highly oppressive environment created by the military coup of September 1980 (Akyuz & Boratav, 2003;Boratav et al, 2001;Ertugrul & Selcuk, 2001). Moreover, this internationally promoted growth model, which was dependent on short-term foreign capital flows, increased the vulnerabilities and imbalances in the Turkish economy, paving the way for recurrent crises following short periods of economic boom as experienced in 1994, 1998(Orhangazi & Yeldan, 2021Yalman et al, 2018). The 2001 financial crisis, according to official figures, left 390,000 people unemployed in just 1 year and resulted in a 14.4% decline in real wages in the manufacturing sector (Ozdemir, 2020).…”

This paper discusses the contextual aspects of the digital transformation of the Turkish public administration system during the COVID-19 pandemic. It argues that the accelerating process of the digitalization of public services during the pandemic should be understood in connection with the ongoing, broader transformation of the Turkish state into the neoliberal regulatory state that has been ideologically framed as a facilitator of market-led economic development. This argument is based on the “state transformation approach” developed as an alternative analytical tool to address governance outcomes as a manifestation of neoliberally informed shifts in the location of state power, in the groups of actors that exercise state power, and in the ideas used to rationalize the exercise of it.

“…Diese Abhängigkeit führte strukturell zu Zahlungsbilanzproblemen. Die abhängige Produktionsstruktur verknüpfte das Wirtschaftswachstum mit dem Zufluss von Geldkapital in Form von Fremdwährungen (Epstein, 2005;Nölke, 2009;Becker, 2010;Becker et al, 2013;Lapavitsas, 2013;Becker, 2014;Stockhammer, 2014;Akçay, 2018b;Yalman et al, 2019;Becker, 2020). Aus diesem Grund sprechen heterodoxen Ökonomen von "abhängiger Finanzialisierung", "untergeordneter Finanzialisierung" oder "peripherer oder semiperipherer Finanzialisierung", um sowohl die Besonderheiten der Finanzialisierung in (Semi-)peripherie wie auch die Gemeinsamkeiten derartiger Prozesse in sämtlichen Ländern zu analysieren (Akçay, 2018b, S. 618).…”

The growth model implemented in Turkey in the last 20 years is based on financialization and foreign capital inflows. According to this model, the expanding loan demand with foreign capital inflows was the main source of growth. However, in this process, increased consumption and investment expenditures caused the current account deficit and foreign debt to grow and the economy to become fragile. While both price stability and a successful growth performance were achieved in the period when capital inflows increased, the process was reversed with the interruption of capital inflows. In this new period, the exchange rate started to rise, all macroeconomic balances, especially price stability, deteriorated rapidly, and an unsustainable growth process began.

“…Under the AKP, the labour landscape was even more drastically transformed by a series of legal and institutional reforms that further entrenched the informalisation of labour relations via the loss of previously guaranteed benefits (Yalman et al. 2019). Combined with the extensive privatisation and loss of state provided services, Turkey today has one of the worst records with regards to employment benefits, fair wages, working hours, and unionisation rights (DİSK 2018).…”

Despite dramatic increases in university graduates over the last 30 years, unemployment rates among youth with advanced education in Turkey remain some of the highest in the world. With levels of unemployment among university graduates almost equal that of high school graduates, the promise of social mobility and formal waged work that higher education once promised, no longer holds credibility. Many young people, instead find themselves in waithood—a state characterised by uncertainty, joblessness, and obstacles to independent adulthood. Studies tend to view waithood temporally as a period of indeterminacy and frustrated futures, but we argue, waithood also encompasses spatial dimensions that are liberatory in so far as they communicate a demand for a liveable life. Examining how young women in Turkey navigate both the state’s conservative politics, and restricted employment opportunities, we use the term “wait space” to capture what an attentiveness to the intimate connection between space and time and work offers to our understanding of the politics and possibilities of work beyond the wage.
