    Does policy style shift when the political regime changes? Insights from Turkey
    (Taylor & Francis, 2022-03-15) Özveren, Ebru Ertugal; International Relations; ÖZVEREN, Ebru Ertugal
    This article applies the concept of 'policy styles' to Turkey in order to contribute to the scholarly debate on the relationship between policy styles and political regime. By uncovering the distinctive features of Turkey's policy processes through a within-case comparative approach, I advance two arguments. First, while policy styles are commonly viewed in literature as determined by administrative traditions, political institutions and policy paradigms, Turkey's policy style has been more responsive to electoral politics, and, until recently, problem situation, in particular crises. Second, policy style is both a cause and a consequence of regime change. Turkey's policy style has displayed both continuities as well as differences as it descended into authoritarianism. The characteristics of the policy style gradually undermine institutions of democracy. As democratic backsliding proceeds, government redesigns the institutional context of policy-making, reinforcing and consolidating the anti-democratic features of the policy style.

    Hidden phases of de-Europeanization: insights from historical institutionalism
    (Taylor & Francis, 2021-10-03) Özveren, Ebru Ertugal; International Relations; ÖZVEREN, Ebru Ertugal
    While the EU’s impact on member and non-member states has been well researched, we have much less understanding of how Europeanization processes give way to de-Europeanization, a widespread phenomenon of the past decade. This paper unpacks and explores the hidden phases and modes of de-Europeanization. I argue that the models of gradual institutional change in historical institutionalism, namely ‘layering’, ‘conversion’ and ‘drift’, operate in different phases of de-Europeanization in a sequential mode. I explore this argument empirically in the domain of regional development policy in Turkey, the longest-standing candidate country. The empirical analysis shows that the mode of ‘layering’, which involves the addition of new rules without upsetting the existing arrangements, during Europeanization unleashed a subsequent mode of ‘conversion’, in which new rules were upheld but exploited in implementation. This phase was then followed by ‘drift’, in which new rules have become irrelevant in the midst of changing circumstances.
