Good governance of PPPs, traditionally associated with an effective regulatory and institutional framework, appropriate risk-sharing, competitive and transparent procurement have recently been broadened to include citizens’ perspectives. Turkey uses PPPs to deliver public infrastructures such as airports, energy plants, highways, bridges, and hospitals. Our first section into Turkey’s PPP experience explores how the partnership between state and capital is instituted. We reveal nine crucial governance problems: Complexities of megaprojects, fragmented legal and regulatory framework, weak institutional capacity, risk-sharing discrepancies, poor value for money, non-affordable public services, lack of transparency, limited accountability, and disregard for environmental sustainability. We maintain that a deeper understanding of PPPs requires complementing this governance analysis with insights from critical political economy. Accordingly, we draw a critical political economy framework to explain why, when, and how PPPs in Turkey are utilized in our second section. We underline the neoliberal transformation and financialized capital accumulation dynamics. We argue that PPP projects have fuelled the construction-led economic growth model, distributed resources to pro-government capital groups, and reproduced political power in Turkey.

Its prominent characterizing features are discussed, with an emphasis on both the achievements and problem areas. Turkey has a long history of strong traditional bureaucratic practices and culture, from which its contemporary public administration system has emerged since the Republic was established almost a century ago. Despite its many achievements, public administration has its problems, generally the product of conflicts between tradition and modernity. Due emphasis should, however, be given to addressing the challenges of its over-politicization, strengthening governance practices, enhancing the human factor, and instituting further modern administrative reforms.

The special issue explores public administration as a concept-the diversity of guiding general principles that determines how governments administer the affairs of state in the context of their governance frameworks-and as praxis-the diversity of public administration structures, procedures and practice, and reform initiatives. It is evident that the countries profiled have adopted a mode of public administration and governance that mirrors its history, and its cultural, geo-political, socioeconomic , and conflictive environments. In this context, the editors hope that the articles presented in this special issue will contribute to advancing the public administration literature in MENA.

Taylor’un onculuk ettigi ‘bilimsel yonetim’ akimi icinden dogmustur. Ozel kesim isyerlerinde seri uretim kosullarinda uretim maksimizasyonu amacli ve calisanlarin maddi ozendiriciler yoluyla uretkenliginin arttirilabilecegi varsayimi ile uygulanma alani bulmus, ancak calisma iliskileri acisindan cesitli sorunlara yol acmistir. PDU, resmi adiyla ‘Performansa dayali ek odeme sistemi’ olarak 2004 yilindan bu yana Turk kamu kesiminin saglik hizmeti sunan birimlerinde uygulanmaktadir. PDU’nun yayginlasmasi olasiligi yuksektir ve ozgun anlam ve biciminden farkli olarak kamu kesiminde ve mal uretimi yerine hizmet uretimi alaninda uygulanmaktadir. Bu calisma, siklikla yapilandan farkli olarak, uygulamanin amaclanan fiziki sonuclari (uretim, uretkenlik ve kalite artisi vb.) yerine kamu etigi acisindan degerlendirme yapmaktadir. Yonetim birimleri, calisanlar ve meslek kurumlari uyeleriyle yapilan mulakat ve gozlemler ve genel degerlendirme sonucunda PDU’nun kamu etik anlayisi, belirlenmis etik ilkeleri ve ozellikle dogurdugu etik ikilemler nedeniyle sorunlar yarattigi one surulmektedir.
