AN EVALUATION OF THE NEOMERCANTILIST THEORY WITHIN THE CASE OF ERDEMIR’S PRIVATIZIATION PROCESS
Öz
This study focuses on the auction process and selling of Turkey’s major iron and steel company ERDEMIR (Eregli Iron and Steel Works) by OYAK (Ordu Yardımlaşma Kurumu - Army Solidarity Foundation). The major concern of the study is to observe the Turkish government’s real perception within the economic realm and whether neomercantilism is the sole understanding or would there be a necessity to change the view towards neomercantilism. In order to grasp the uniqueness of this situation, the history and structure of ERDEMIR as a national steel producer is introduced. The whole auction process is elaborated including briefly the way leading to this privatization decision at the early stages and the potential actors’ natures, and how this intended privatization got into a very different direction at the last stage. Finally, this study explains the reasons behind this result of OYAK’s purchase will be explained taking the neomercantilist motivations in Turkey and how they can be evaluated with regard to the nature of OYAK’s structure and unique situation in Turkey. These all will pave the way to understand Turkey’s current response to world economy within the context of iron and steel industry.
