Abstract

Bu çalışma, rekabetin tarihsel ve teorik gelişiminin sistematik bir incelemesini sunarak, ekonomik düşünce içinde nasıl şekillendiğini analiz etmektedir. Merkantilist dönemi ile başlayan rekabetin evrimi, Smith ve klasik iktisatçılarının perspektiflerinden, Marksist analiz, neoklasik denge yaklaşımı, Schumpeter’in yenilikçi rekabet teorisi ve stratejik yaklaşımlar aracılığıyla incelenmiştir. Rekabetin yalnızca soyut bir model olmadığını, aynı zamanda pratik uygulamalarla derinden iç içe geçmiş bir ekonomik olgu olduğunu vurgulayan çalışma, rekabetin çeşitli teorik çerçevelerle geçirdiği dönüşümü değerlendirerek, çağdaş ekonomik politikalara referans olabilecek görüşler sunmaktadır.

The Systematic Phases of Competition: A Historical and Theoretical Examination

Abstract

This study provides a systematic examination of the historical and theoretical development of competition, analyzing how it has been shaped within economic thought. Beginning with the mercantilist era, the evolution of competition is examined through the perspectives of Smith and classical economists, Marxist analysis, the neoclassical equilibrium approach, Schumpeter’s innovative competition theory, and strategic approaches. Emphasizing that competition is not merely an abstract model, but an economic phenomenon deeply intertwined with practical applications, the study evaluates the transformation of competition through various theoretical frameworks, offering insights that can serve as a reference for contemporary economic policies.
