Product Description
“TOKİ, which enters our field of vision with urban-scale megaprojects gone wild, cronyism, sensations, and ubiquitous identical mass housing, is essentially the form that a long-term class project, which can be described as establishing the modern housing sector, has taken in present-day Turkey. The main purpose of the book you are reading is to reveal the underlying mechanism of the authoritarian state form embodied in TOKİ.” Beyond Crazy Projects, which presents a holistic economic-political analysis of housing production in Turkey, focuses particularly on the major transformation that has occurred since 2003. It shows the role played by the Housing Development Administration (TOKİ) in the complete reconstruction of the state under the Justice and Development Party government.
TOKİ’s first period, from 1980 to 2000, was when mass housing production aiming to “modernize” housing production was institutionalized. In the second period after 2003, marketization became intertwined with the extreme strengthening of the central executive. Havva Ezgi Doğru also discusses the struggle among capital factions within this neoliberal policy, which “binds” the working classes by indebting them. This is an essential study not only for understanding the economic-politics of the housing issue but also for understanding the overall economic-politics of the state regime in Turkey.
