PİYASA EKONOMİSİNİN İKİ ZAYIF ROTASI: AFGANİSTAN VE KIRGIZİSTAN

Abstract

Afganistan ve Kırgızistan, tarihsel ve manevi değerler bakımından Türkiye’nin ilgi alanına giren; aynı zamanda kapitalist küreselleşme açısından çeşitli sorunlar yaşamakta olan iki Orta Asya ekonomisidir. Araştırma sorusu üç boyutta ele alınabilir: i-Afganistan ve Kırgızistan’ın piyasa ekonomisine geçiş serüveni: Afganistan, “Üçüncü Dünya”nın özelliğini taşıyan bir ülke görünümünde iken; Kırgızistan ise, eski bir Sovyet bakiyesi olarak liberal ekonomiye geçişin sancılarını büyük ölçüde atlatmış bir ülke görünümündedir. ii-Bu iki ülkenin benzer ve farklı piyasa ekonomisi yapıları: Her iki ülke yoksul ve geri kalmıştır. Bu ülkelerde piyasa ekonomisinin kurum ve kuralları yeterince gelişmemiştir. iii-Türkiye’nin bu iki ülkeye piyasa ekonomisine geçiş sürecinde sunabileceği bilgi, deneyim ve mali katkılar: Türkiye, Avrupa Birliği’nin aday üye olması sıfatıyla bu bölge için çağdaş piyasa gelişmeleri noktasında bir köprü işlevini görebilir
