Yayın Consumer response to economic crisis and lessons for marketers: The Turkish experience(Elsevier Science Inc, 2014-01) Kaytaz, Mehmet; Gül, Mısra ÇağlaPrivate consumption is the largest component of gross domestic product (GDP). It has a substantial impact on the speed of recovery from an economic crisis. This paper aims to examine the behavior of consumers, firms, and government in Turkey in response to the recent global economic crisis. Turkey was one of the few countries that emerged from the economic downturn relatively quickly. The demographics of consumers, the solidity of financial sector, and the government policies led to a speedy recovery from the crisis through an increase in consumption expenditures. During the initial shock, consumers switched to cheaper goods and decreased consumption expenditures in total. The government emphasized that the impact of crisis would be limited. The opening of credit lines, the temporary reduction in value-added tax and special consumption tax on certain commodities, aggressive marketing campaigns, and a rosy future drawn by chambers of commerce and NGOs in specific promotional activities were influential in increasing consumption. This paper discusses the consumer response to and the marketing lessons derived from this experience.Yayın Developmental state in the context of globalization: definitional, conceptual, and methodological issues(Routledge, 2025-08) Karaoğuz, Hüseyin Emrah; Ayhan, Berkay; Albasar, İlgi DoğaDevelopmental state has offered one of the most widely used analytical toolkits to study political economy of development. One of the intriguing debates in the scholarship is whether ‘conceptual stretching’ undermined the analytical usefulness of the framework. While for some scholars the developmental state has just become a buzzword because the framework is applied to many different regions inappropriately, for others there are varieties of developmental states in the context of globalization. We address this debate by systematically and critically examining the developmental state scholarship, including its main trends and evolution, key discussions, methodology, and emerging areas of research. We conclude that the developmental state remains a valuable approach for researchers in the post-neoliberal political economy context, but scholars would benefit from more precise definitions, clearer justifications of why a particular conceptualization is chosen over others, and more rigorous application of research methods.
