Politics of Favoritism in Public Procurement in Turkey by Esra Grakar

Politics of Favoritism in Public Procurement in Turkey by Esra Grakar

This book, through an analysis of 49,355 high value public procurement contracts awarded between 2004 and 2011, provides systematic evidence on favoritism in public procurement in Turkey.

“Politics of Favoritism in Public Procurement in Turkey sheds new light into an important aspect of contemporary Turkish politics that has received only scant scholarly attentionIn particular, the empirical evidence presented in the book on the firms that succeeded in winning the procurement contracts makes an original contribution to the literature. The book will be especially useful for those interested in political favoritism, clientelism, and patronage in Turkey.” (Sabri Sayarı, Middle East Journal, Vol. 72 (3), 2018)
