Regulating the Regulatory State: A Critical Assessment of OECD Report for Turkey Sonay Bayramoğlu The aim of this paper is to critically explore the programme of regulatory reforms promoted by OECD through an evaluation of the report of regulatory reforms for Turkey which was published in 2002. The paper mainly asserts that the “Regulatory Reforms Programme” primarily intended to re-organise the state under the shadow of the global market, while presenting the state as a focal point of departure for overcoming the “market-failures”. Thus, regulatory reforms represent a shift from “market-friendly state” to “market-driving state”.
