| Abstract: | Combining the macro-institutional insights and the integrative approach, this study explores a struggle btw. a group of protesters, a multinational gold mining company and governmental actors regarding an environmental issue in Bergama, Turkey, with a statist polity mediating worldwide currents towards the neo-liberal (herein as: n-l.) order. It is found that the Turkish state repressed the mobilizations against the n-l. construction of the mining field and reinforced the existing n-l. logic in the mining field through a new regulatory framework. It is suggested that both the trajectory and consequences of institutional wars are influenced by the kind of polity in which they take place. |
