    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Planning, Power, Politics: Urban Redevelopment in Istanbul A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Urban Planning by Imge Akcakaya Waite 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Planning, Power, Politics: Urban Redevelopment in Istanbul by Imge Akcakaya Waite Doctor of Philosophy in Urban Planning University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Anastasia Loukaitou-Sideris, Chair This study examines how local power structures have influenced the politics of planning and decision-making in urban redevelopment projects in Istanbul. The theoretical motive for choosing this topic stems from the small number of empirical work that examines the interplay of power and politics in planning practice, relative to the recognized importance of these factors. Examination of the wide array of questions surrounding planning, power, and politics and the challenges of participatory planning in the context of Istanbul proves rewarding in this respect. On the one hand, as in most developing nations, pluralistic planning processes face significant obstacles in Turkey, such as excessively top-down traditions, lack of accountability on the part of the public sector in establishing public-private partnerships, absence of measures to encourage meaningful citizen participation, and tendency of groups who hold legal, political and financial powers to influence public agencies for their own benefit. On the other hand, Istanbul faces the added problems of earthquake threat and ii mitigation, illegal settlements, excessive population and building densities, and the resulting safety concerns, all of which call for urgent redevelopment measures. To address the questions related to the above problems and motives, the study conducted in-depth interviews with well-informed stakeholders from different actor groups (i.e.

  • Turkey Update
    TURKEY UPDATE December 5, 2000 TURKEY’S WINTER OF DISCONTENT Although the weather in Ankara has been exceptionally warm, the Turkish Government can be forgiven if it is feeling the chills of winter. Serious problems in the preaccession negotiations with the European Union (EU); a looming energy shortage with the likelihood of imminent power cuts; a widening anticorruption drive focusing on the banking sector threatening the traditional cozy arrangements between politicians, bureaucrats, businessmen and media moguls; and, finally, a grave financial upheaval and emergency talks with the IMF, have produced an atmosphere of crisis in Turkey. The three-party coalition headed by ailing Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit, which has been in office for 18 months, is looking distinctly rattled, and it is far from clear whether it is capable of tackling the growing problems. The Financial Storm The deepening financial crisis, which began on November 17, was apparently triggered by interbank speculation by irresponsible Turkish bankers “playing” the fluctuating interest rate market. With the big Turkish banks cutting credit lines to the smaller ones as cover against the possibility of their failure – 10 private banks have recently been taken into receivership – and the foreign investors pulling out en masse, panic spread in the markets as the interbank overnight lending rate soared astronomically. As the Central Bank tried to fund the market with short-term, extremely high- interest bond sales, Turkey lost more than 10 percent of its $23 billion foreign exchange reserves in the first week of the crisis alone and more than $6 billion by December 1. At the same time, the previously booming stock market dipped below 7,500, less than half its value compared with the beginning of the year.

Guy Peters, PhD, Maurice Falk Professor, Department of Political Science ii Copyright © by Zeki Sarigil 2007 iii ENDOGENIZING INSTITUTIONS Zeki Sarigil, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2007 This study provides an agency-centered theoretical framework of institutional change at domestic level. It argues that institutional change should be understood as a conflictual process having two stages: initiation and bargaining. At the first stage, certain internal and external developments help change entrepreneurs mobilize for structural change through mechanisms of power shifts and/or negative feedback (ideational or material). At the second stage, institutional actors simply bargain over alternatives arrangements. However this is a special form of bargaining in the sense that it takes place within an institutionalized setting. Such a bargaining process is not only a strategic competition over material benefits but also a symbolic contestation among institutional actors over ideational interests (e.g. legitimacy). This study provides a two dimensional perspective on bargaining within an institutionalized setting by modifying two logics of action: the logic of consequentiality and the logic of appropriateness.

A native of Turkey, Baran writes and speaks widely on Turkey and Turkish affairs. She has done extensive work on the compatibility of Islam and democracy and is currently writing a book on Muslim integration in the West. Democratic deepening usually leads to democratic consolidation—but not in Turkey. Instead, deeper democracy is increasingly exposing the profound divisions in Turkish society, and thus making democracy more fragile. The 22 July 2007 parliamentary elections in Turkey must there- fore be viewed in the context of an increasingly polarized society. The ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), which has Islamist roots, won a second term in office with a clear victory, garnering 46.7 percent of the vote and 341 seats in the 550-member Grand National Assembly, Turkey’s unicameral parliament. Yet the preexisting political and so- cial tensions that led to the holding of the elections four months ahead of schedule remain unresolved.

  • Turkey Update
    TURKEY UPDATE June 26, 2001 POLITICS UNDER THE SHADOW OF “THE THIRD WAVE” On May 28, Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit celebrated his 77th birthday, as well as the second anniversary of the formation of the three-party coalition government after the April 1999 general elections. In a long speech devoted to outlining the achievements of the government, Ecevit stressed that his Democratic Left Party (DLP) was working in full harmony with the National Action Party (NAP) and the Motherland Party (MP). Listening to Ecevit, one might have been forgiven for overlooking the reality that the country he leads is still reeling from the effects of two major financial crises his coalition stumbled into during the last eight months and that Turkey has been obliged to seek a massive new stand-by emergency aid package from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). To be sure, the very durability of the coalition — it has been in office longer than any coalition in Turkish history — and its ability to manage numerous problems during the past two years are impressive. Its very cohesion, however, buttressed by the mantra of “stability,” has also unfortunately sheltered it from the need to undertake a major restructuring or reshuffle in response to its reverses, which would have almost certainly provoked resignations in most Western democracies. Moreover, with Turkey still under the political management of the team that dragged it into its current economic difficulties, domestic and foreign financial analysts, who welcomed the appointment of Minister of State for the Economy Kemal Dervis after the February crisis, are freely speculating about the likelihood of Turkey hitting an even more devastating “third wave,” possibly before the end of 2001.

Nitekim ele alınan konular, öne çıkan etmenler değişiklik göstermiştir. Dönemsel analizi yapılacak olan çalışmada, ikili ilişkilerin tarihsel sürecinin yanında, son dönemde yaşanan siyasi krizlere de yer verilecektir. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye ile İsrail arasındaki ikili ilişkilerin son dönemi irdelenecek, 2002 sonrasında yaşanan siyasi krizlerin nedenleri tespit edilip, bu krizlere Türkiye’deki muhalefetin ve kamuoyunun yaklaşımları ele alınacaktır.

ABSTRACT After starting the bilateral relations of Turkey officially recognize Israel in 1949, it has followed an up and down process at periodic intervals. Turkey-Israel relations, which continued routinely until the 1990s, moved towards cooperation, especially in the post-Cold War period. Government changes in the early 2000s also affected the relations between the two countries. As a matter of fact, the issues discussed and the prominent factors differed.
