Conclusion

Abstract

This concluding chapter starts with the findings concisely by referring to the global neoliberal turn, structural power and energy structure in it, and major topics about the Turkish electricity liberalisation. Then, the neoliberal structuralisation on the Turkish electricity market is assessed by highlighting contributions of this study to international political economy in general and, more specifically, to literature in the fields of structural power, energy studies and Türkiye’s political economy. The addressed question in this chapter is the main research question itself, “why and to what extent do changes in the global power structures influence domestic energy policy preferences of Türkiye?” It concludes by making some deductions from a matrix which compares the external and internal political economic factors at different phases.
