Abstract
This dissertation examines the concept of neoliberal communitarianism and
its varieties in order to explain the economic success stories of the cities known as
Anatolian Tigers. It is portrayed that major driver of the transformation in the
Anatolian cities was the rapid industrialization and the opening up to the world
market. In this dissertation, the Anatolian Tigers are understood in a broad sense
to include the cities of Kayseri, Gaziantep, Corum, Konya, Eskisehir, and Denizli, all
of which have demonstrated notable economic performances beginning in the
1980s. Their success and vitality reveal that there is in fact another Turkey beyond
Istanbul, one that is not as backward as is commonly assumed.
