Abstract

The experiences of developing countries with state-led industrialization have varied greatly during the last century. This paper focuses on a country which has experienced above average rates of industrialization but has not been amongst the most successful. It examines the evolution of the international environment as well as the political and institutional bases of industrialization for Turkey. It argues the country’s industrialization outcomes depended less on the specific set of micro institutions regulating state-private sector relations and more on the international environment, on the domestic political economy, especially the strength and stability of the political coalition backing industrialization, and on the interaction between the international and the domestic.
