While a positive correlation between capitalism and democracy has
existed in Western Europe and North America, the example of
late-industrializing nations such as Turkey has demonstrated that
the two need not always go hand in hand, and sometimes the
interests of business coincide more firmly with anti-democratic
forces. This book explores the factors that compelled capitalists
in Turkey to adopt a more pro-democratic ideology by examining a
leading Turkish business lobby (TUESIAD) which has been pushing for
democratic reform since the 1990s, despite representing some of the
largest corporation owners in Turkey and having supported the
state's authoritarian tendencies in the past such as the military
coup of 1980. Drawing on roughly 70 interviews with influential
members of TUESIAD and individuals close to them, the book reveals
that business leaders were willing to break away from the state due
to the conflict between their evolving economic needs and power
with a political elite and state that were unwilling to cater to
their demands. In so doing, the book provides a rich account of
business-state relations in Turkey as well as providing a case
study for the wider study of democracy and capitalism in developing
nations.
