    An evaluation of the share of Turkish Central Government expenditures within GDP between 1924 and 2016 in the background of the concept of "minimal state"
    (Peter Lang AG, 2019) Özer A.Ö.; Özer B.; Özcan P.M.
    Liberalism sets the object of minimal state in its historical trajectory of evolution since its emergence. In the contemporary times, neoliberalism has also vigorously maintained the minimal state objective and retrenched the state by new global realities since the mid-1970s. Neoliberalism emerging on a background of a coalition with conservatism against the Keynesian welfare state implementations comes to redefine the state by economically defined criteria including effectiveness and efficiency. In order to be able to put into practice the ideal of the minimal state, the neoliberal project has effectively used the tool of public expenditures, with endeavours attempting to keep the mentioned expenditures on its minimum scale. This work attempts to shed light on whether primary institutions of public sector keep up with the minimal state objective in Turkey, henceforth, the effort strives to measure and evaluate whether this tendency has been in effect for public expenditures and government budget expenditures for the Turkish case in her historical, political economy development. © Peter Lang AG 2019.

    An evaluation of subsidies granted to the private educational institutions within the framework of Turkish tax system
    (Peter Lang AG, 2020) Özer A.Ö.; Özer B.; Akin S.
    One of the essential concerns that governments have to deal with has been the theme of economic growth and development. In order to be able to sustain the objectives mentioned above, states and governments instrumentalize fiscal policies in which subsidies occupy a substantial place. The primary rationale behind these fiscal policies, including grants, has been the allocation of resources to those fields with better and more efficient prospects within the general good of the economy. Despite convergences seen in terms of types and implementation of subsidies, the basic objective is to accomplish higher rates of economic growth and investment. Through the Decision of the Council of Ministers of the Turkish Republic dated June 19th, 2012, investments to be handled for primary, secondary, and high school educational institutions were evaluated within the framework of the fifth region with the labeling of priority investment. Along with the closure of private-mentoring facilities, the related facilities investors were foreseen to utilize the subsidies to convert these facilities to schools, thereby minimizing the costs of investments coupled with rises in investments. The effort of the study, given the given scope and framework, is to elucidate and to analyze arrangements and recent developments concerning grants of space and location for investments and exceptions regarding the insurance and tax exceptions and exemption within a general framework of aforementioned subsidy program in Turkey for educational institutions. © Peter Lang AG 2020.
