Özet
:
Liberal economic programmes have been systematically implemented in Turkey since the early 1980s. These programmes aimed to launch a transformation, from import substitution under state direction to export oriented open-market conditions. Following this transformation, economic, political, institutional and spatial structures have drastically changed. Moreover, this process resulted highly uneven in terms of income distribution, both socially and geographically. The objective of this thesis is to analyse the relationships between regional uneven development and liberalisation in the case of Turkey; by doing this, it also contributes to the debates on liberalism through the revision of mainstream approaches by, per contra, drawing on the principles of critical approaches in a comprehensive way owing to the understanding provided by the concepts of ‘actually existing neoliberalism’, and ‘spatio-temporal fixes’. To this end, beside descriptive statistics and well-known inequality indices, empirical analyses including nonspatial and spatial convergence models are applied at the level of NUTS 2. In addition, these analyses are completed through the distribution dynamics approach, which offers insights on the cross-sectional distribution of income. The analyses, on the one hand, report an overall slow convergence between regions; on the other hand, a polarisation issue in the regional pattern is identified in terms of notable gaps between three income levels. Findings indicate that liberal policies have not offered a permanent solution for the issue of uneven development. Therefore, closing regional disparities should be a serious policy concern and economic strategies should be better aligned with spatial/regional policies to address uneven development.
