Note(s) : 'This theoretically informing book provides one of the strongest analyses of Turkish
political economy. Bugra and Savaskan decisively dispel myths regarding the new, allegedly
self-made and "small" entrepreneurs who form the backbone of Turkish success. Drawing
on original documents, interviews, and statistics, they demonstrate that politics
(as practiced by regimes, parties, and associations) has "made" the Turkish pious
business class. No one can think of markets and market actors in the same way after
reading this book.'--Cihan Ziya Tugal, UC Berkeley, US. 'This impressive work places
Turkey firmly on the map of comparative politics and political economy. It adds intriguing
facets to what we know about the relationship between the state, democracy and capitalist
development in an age of neoliberalism. It also sheds new light on the role of religion
in economic change and class formation in emerging countries on the periphery of contemporary
capitalism. Moreover, in emphasizing the role of business associations in the politically
sponsored rise of a post-Fordist model of globalized national capitalism, the book
provides exciting new insights on a subject that has been regrettably neglected in
recent years.'--Wolfgang Streeck, The New School for Social Research, US. 'Power has
shifted in Turkey over the last decade, both within business and the state, towards
groups with religious-conservative rather than Kemalist-secular sensibilities. This
book goes deep inside this transformation to analyze the role of Muslim business networks
and their relationship with the state. You will not find a better guide to Turkey's
emergent new capitalism.'--Dani Rodrik, Institute for Advanced Study, US. New Capitalism
in Turkey explores the changing relationship between politics, religion and business
through an analysis of the contemporary Turkish business environment. This book focuses
on the developments that have transformed the economic, political and cultural coordinates
of business activity; led to new forms of interest representation; and changed the
relationship between government and business in Turkey in the post-1980 period. Ayse
Bugra and Osman Savaskan argue that political action plays a crucial role in shaping
the configuration of the business community, influencing the patterns of business
development, and informing the emergence of rival models of capitalist development
and political change endorsed by different groups of entrepreneurs. Moreover, the
book explores the idea that whilst the use of religion as a strategic resource by
some business associations serves to create bonds of trust and solidarity among their
members, it also contributes to the polarization of the business community. This interdisciplinary
book will be an invaluable resource for academics, graduate students and researchers
interested in political economy, political science, sociology, economic history, and
organization studies. It will also appeal to journalists and business people, especially
those investing or planning to invest in Turkey or the Middle East.
