Remaking Politics, Markets, and Citizens in Turkey critically
analyses the travel of neoliberal ideas, policies, experts and
institutions from the West to Turkey. Through an ethnographic
investigation of the newly established tobacco market, Ebru Kayaalp
considers how they are being adopted and transformed in their new
settings. The February 2001 crisis, the most severe economic
downturn in the history of Turkey, generated an emergency situation
in which a series of sweeping neoliberal policies were implemented
to prop up the collapsed economy. To receive the necessary loans
from the international financial institutions, the Turkish
government hastily enacted a number of neoliberal laws, including
the notorious tobacco law. Remaking Politics, Markets, and Citizens
in Turkey not only explores the repercussions of the new tobacco
law, such as the establishment of a new regulatory institution, the
emergence of contract farming and the privatization of the tobacco
monopoly, thereby making a liberalized market, but also the smoking
ban governing the bodies and spaces of Muslim citizens. Remaking
Politics, Markets, and Citizens in Turkey provides an innovative
contribution to Middle Eastern studies, filling the gap for
anthropological research in Muslim countries on local economic
relations and their connections with the global economy.
