a combination of financial and political factors creating them. By asserting that every financial crisis
necessarily involves political aspects, this study aims to certify that the poor policy response of Turkey,
which has relied heavily on a “president over institutions” approach, has contributed to the ongoing severe
currency and debt crises. Focusing on the two predominantly domestically induced crises of 2001 and
2018, this article analyzes secondary literature and data to put forth a framework that combines the fiscal
policy response with a look at the country’s institutional strength and shows how financial uncertainty and
instability exacerbated the conditions of the ongoing 2018 crisis. The study also finds that deteriorating
political institutions in Turkey, marked by a lack of governmental efficacy that has led to compromised
financial and fiscal sustainability, has played a considerable role in the onset of the 2018 crisis.

Allen, for helping me out when I was struggling and needed it the most. She also offered plenty of wisdom and patience that makes her warrant the highest commendations. This dissertation has also been improved significantly thanks to conversations and courses with the other committee members. Following the initial phase, it was further shaped by countless insightful conversations with Jeff Carter to whom I owe a debt of gratitude-especially for helping me deal with the empirical issues. I thank Gregory Love for providing incisive and thought-provoking feedback. I also thank Todd Smitherman for being willing to be exposed to the depressing world of civil wars. Finally, the idea for the dissertation was born from a reaction paper for Jacob Kathman's memorable graduate seminar in civil war. I would like to thank him for lighting the fire and making me believe that my idea is interesting. In addition to the intellectual guidance and inspiration of the individuals acknowledged above, I enjoyed some sources of institutional support. In this vein, I would like to thank the University of Mississippi, specifically the Department of Political Science and the Graduate School, which provided me with financial assistance in the form of research and teaching assistantships, and funding for conference travel. v Last but not least, this dissertation could not have been completed without the enduring and remarkable support of numerous family members. In particular, I would like to thank my mom, Zeynep Yalciner, for offering me her unconditional love and support anytime I need. Nor would I have made it here without my grandparents-Ahmet Ridvan and Guler Yalciner. I consider myself fortunate for having them in my life. I would also like to thank my significant other, Ozge Evcen, for her support, encouragement, and absolute love. This dissertation is stronger because of all of these people. The remaining weaknesses are entirely my own.
