Yatırım Ortamını İyileştirme Koordinasyon Kurulu
Özet
Neo-liberal policies have caused a transformation in state structure. This transformation
emerged after international organizations and capital institutions imposed their
proposals on the world within the framework of structural adjustment, and there were
ruptures in the traditional state structure. Independent regulatory authorities and
supreme boards in Turkey were formed on the recommendations within this scope.
These authorities are the examples of governance model as an organization structure.
These boards continue to exist as structural forms that mediate globalization in which
capital relations intensify. In Turkey, the Coordination Council for the Improvement of
Investment Environment (YOIKK) was established as a structure that will ensure
integration with the international economy and lead the facilitating regulations in terms
of capital. Then, the Investment Advisory Council (YDK) was established to contribute
to the efforts to improve the investment environment. YOIKK and YDK carry out
activities to meet the demands of investors in the administration and legal legislation by
bringing together the actors of multinational companies and international financial
institutions. YOIKK conducts these activities with technical committees formed for
different fields, which are now called working groups. This structure which reorganizes
investment legislation and investment-related administrative procedures through action
plans has a very large capacity to transform social relations. This structure having
undergone changes with the Presidential Government System still keeps working. In
this study, the structure and actions of YOIKK and YDK and the policies that were
effective in the establishment of these councils were examined in order to understand
the transformation in the state administration.
