“Fiscal Crises of State” in Turkey Yiğit Karahanoğulları The main goal of this paper is to get a critical perspective for the analysis of the fiscal crises in the growth process of the Turkish economy since 1963, by an interdisciplinary perspective. The methodological references of the analysis are “fiscal crisis of the state” theory introduced by James O’Connor, the concepts of “accumulation regime” and “mode of regulation” elaborated by French Regulation School and the concept of “hegemonic project” by Bob Jessop. These analytical tools allow us to understand the way in which public finance and economic and politic processes function. After a short theoretical survey, Turkey’s accumulation process is considered. Accordingly, three hegemonic projects and corresponding accumulation regimes are differentiated. It is observed that all accumulation regimes and hegemonic projects have implied different roles for the state in each period. Within this argumentation it is stated that each type of capital accumulation and class relations solved within the hegemonic projects witnesses a fiscal crisis of the state, which becomes also the benchmark of the end of the hegemonic project.
