Governance Mindset

It's almost a "magic" word that we've been hearing more and more in recent years: Governance. However, it is never clearly stated what exactly governance, which has begun to be used instead of concepts such as "management" and "administrative", includes and excludes. This work by Sonay Bayramoğlu, a first in its field, examines the concept, which is one of the most important tools of neoliberalism's reshaping of the state and the world, in every aspect. The governance mentality, which restructures the state "like a company" and approaches it with market logic, not only moves away from the public interest in this respect; By aiming to purify distribution relations from politics, it prunes the social content of politics and helps to further consolidate the power of the global ruling class.
The "superior councils", which are the visible face of governance, are the most important reflection of the "transforming" political power today. In his comprehensive study, Bayramoğlu examines the organizational structure of the boards that became widespread in Turkey after the '90s, their differences from traditional bureaucracy, their relations with representatives of global capitalism such as the IMF, the World Bank and the OECD, and the process of abandoning the concept of citizenship to the category of "customer consuming public services". Governance Mentality: Supreme Councils and the Transformation of Political Power in Turkey; It is an important resource for those who want to see where global capitalism and the governance model that radically changes state, society and power relations have come from and where they will go.
