Market Management

"I don't know if we did something wrong. But in Turkey, too many autonomous organizations were established. Some organizations were established within the state, but more authorized than the state. We cannot control them... I think we need to make the effectiveness of the state work within democratic rules again."
Bülent Ecevit, 2001
A book about the institutions that realize neoliberalism's ideal of "small state, strong market" by the state... Capital Markets Board, Radio and Television Supreme Council, Competition Authority, whose establishment dates back to the early 1980s... and Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency, which was established between 1999-2002. , Information Technologies and Communication Authority, Energy Market Regulatory Authority, Sugar Authority, Tobacco and Alcohol Market Regulatory Authority, Public Procurement Authority... These institutions are the upper bodies of both the state/administration and the market in Turkey.
Ümit Sönmez analyzes neoliberalism's design of the state-market relationship through these institutions. In discussing theoretical models of this design, he provides a solid framework for the magic concept of the neoliberal 'age': governance.
Within this theoretical framework, a detailed description and critical evaluation of the concrete functioning of independent regulatory institutions is not neglected in the book.
