Abstract:

This article is about Turkey in the period 1945-1950, where the state practices are increasingly replaced by the private sector. The World Economic Disruption (1929) represents a turning point in Turkey’s economic policy. Turkey adopted the conservative state in the economy between 1930 and 1939, and was a pioneer in the industrialization. Turkey has not participated in the Second World War, but has not been out of the negative conditions created by the war. The anxiety created by the Government Party Republican People's Party (CHP)'s National Protection Act, Land Products Act, Property Tax and Farmers Landing Act in rural sections, large landowners and the trader class has become a strong opposition. After 1945, Turkey passed from single-party government to multi-democracy. The Democratic Party (DP), which supports a large portion of society, has caused the CHP to question itself. In foreign policy, against the increasing Soviet threat, U.S.-backed policies were followed and state practices in the economy were replaced by the liberalism in which the private sector was on the forefront. More than industrialization, machinery and road construction in agriculture have been a common economic policy adopted by the Republicans and Democrats.
