THE EFFECTS OF JULY 15 COUP ATTEMP ON ON TURKISH ECONOMY UNDER 2023 GOALS: A GENERAL ANALYSIS

Year 2020, Volume: 20 Issue: 15 Temmuz, 107 - 131, 10.07.2020

Abstract

The vision of the 11th Development Plan, which sets forth the Republic of Turkey’s economic roadmap, has been identified as ‘a stronger and more prosperous Turkey who produces more value and shares more equally’. Targeting improvements in social as well as economic indicators for the year 2023, the 11th Development Plan is important for maintaining sustainable development and increasing social welfare. Democracy is defined as a form of government which renders individuals active in governance and prioritizes individual rights and freedoms. The failed coup attempt on 15 July 2016 did not only constitute an attack on Turkey’s democracy but has also had economic and social consequences. In this study, the subject of military coups and instability is first investigated in a global scope and then evaluated within the context of selected indicators for the period 2005-2018, with an emphasis on Turkey’s 2023 Targets. The study, which assesses the periods of 2005-2015 and 2016-2018 separately, is of descriptive nature due to an insufficient number of observation years. In conclusion, the failed coup attempt has had a significant impact on the Turkish economy and played a role, albeit partially, in Turkey’s falling short of her 2023 Targets.

Abstract

Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin iktisadi yol haritasını ortaya koyan 11. Kalkınma Planının vizyonu ‘daha fazla değer üreten, daha adil paylaşan daha güçlü ve müreffef bir Türkiye’ olarak belirlenmiştir. 2023 yılı için ekonomik göstergeler kadar sosyal göstergelerin de ileriye taşınacağını hedefleyen 11. Kalkınma Planı, sürdürülebilir kalkınmanın sağlanması ve sosyal refahın artırılması açısından önem taşımaktadır. Demokrasi, bireyleri ülke yönetiminde etkin kılan, bireysel hak ve özgürlükleri önceleyen bir yönetim biçimi olarak tanımlanmaktadır.15 Temmuz 2016 yılında yaşanan başarısız darbe girişimi sadece Türkiye’de demokrasiye yapılan bir saldırı olmayıp ekonomik ve sosyal etkileri de olmuştur. Bu çalışmada darbeler ve istikrarsızlık konusu dünya literatürü kapsamında araştırıldıktan sonra Türkiye’nin 2023 Hedefleri Kapsamında 2005-2018 döneminin seçilmiş ekonomik ve sosyal göstergeler bazında genel bir değerlendirmesi yapılmıştır. 2005-2015 ve 2016-2018 yıllarını iki kısımda inceleyen çalışma yeterli zaman aralığı olmadığından betimleyici niteliktedir. Sonuç olarak başarısız darbe girişimi Türkiye ekonomisini etkilemiş, Türkiye’nin 2023 hedeflerinden uzak kalmasında kısmen de olsa rol oynamıştır.
