State, Society, and Privatization in Turkey analyzes the Turkish effort at privatization from 1979 to 1990, shedding light on the obstacles that arose in a country with a fifty-year tradition of economic paternalism. Sallama Shaker's chief focus in examining the restructuring of Turkey's economy is on rent-seekingbehavior. She argues that such an economic policy requires key actors to build powerful coalitions of public support, including politicians, bureaucrats, and special-interest groups, while containing rent-seeking to enhance development and eliminate social and economic waste.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"A welcome addition to a growing literature that assesses critically the stabilization-cum-structural adjustment programs in middle income countries, not in terms of an in-depth analysis of the Turkish experience, but in presenting a stimulating exposition of the impact of rent-seeking behavior and special-interest groups." -- Sefik Alp Bahadir, Middle East Journal
