“…Using the social power model in part (Lange, 2009; Lange and Balian, 2008; Schensul, 2008; Slater, 2008; vom Hau, 2008), or in full (Chen, 2008; Jacoby, 2004b), scholars are seeing the benefits of employing this framework for research on states in development. The combination of historical and sociological theorizing with multidimensional variables of analysis provide a useful tool for understanding how actors organize social power in society, accounting for instances of social change when power relations intersect and change.…”

Michael Mann seeks to explain the nature of power and its effects on the development of the state. His work has had a considerable impact within the field of macro-historical sociology, but has primarily been applied to Western case studies. This article builds upon an emerging literature that considers the expediency of using this lens to examine developing countries. It analyzes how the framework of social power can be used to provide a historical analysis of the reach, origins and effects of state power within developing countries. Through a consideration of Mann's historiography, the article demonstrates the value of his social power framework for development theory.

“…The case of Turkey broadly conforms to this model, wherein early 20 th Century banks served a historically formative role in modern Turkey"s transition to capitalism. Of course, banking in Turkey preceded today"s Republic, stretching back to Constantinople as a center of Medieval Venetian and Genoese finance and later as the heart of subordinated Ottoman public finances under the imperial watch of the foreign owned Ottoman Bank (de Roover 1971;Jacoby 2004). Under the new Turkish Republic and after the 1923 Izmir Economic Congress, however, the banking sector in general and the new state-owned, public banks in particular assumed an active place in state and class formation processes.…”
