Coordinating Banking Regulations and Green Transition: The Turkish Experience
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2025) Coban, M.K.
Green transition poses non-negligible financial and coordination challenges. These challenges are more acute in major developing countries, where policy capacity deficiencies and limited financial resources are more pronounced. This chapter examines the existing policy coordination attempts and arrangements in Turkey. The country has announced a net-zero target and has published a national action plan. Besides, the country is engaging in developing banking regulations to stimulate and finance green transition. In light of these attempts and arrangements, the chapter discusses the current coordination arrangement and bank regulations. In so doing, the chapter sheds light on policy capacity deficiencies, political and economic challenges, and bureaucratic politics as the three major impediments against an effective coordination of green transition while ensuring to stimulate and finance green transition on the back of banking regulations. © 2025 The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s).
Policy Advice and Capacity
(Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd., 2025) Bali, A.S.; Coban, M.K.
Policy advice is understood as the production of knowledge about public policy problems and how those can be ameliorated. Policy advice, however, is intricately linked with the capacity or the skills and competencies of public actors. This chapter focusses on the relationship between policy advice and capacity. The chapter advances two arguments. First, effective policy advice requires a range of capacities - analytical, operational, and political - to understand problems and how they can be addressed. Second, policy advice must recognise the constraints of the capacity of public actors. Put differently, no amount of expertise or policy knowledge of problems and solutions matter if there are deficiencies on the part of the public actor to operationalise that advice. © The Editors and Contributors Severally 2025.

The Political Economic Sources of Policy Non-Design and the Decay in Policy Capacity in Turkey
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2024) Coban, M.K.
This chapter studies the political economic sources of policy design with a specific focus on the policy non-design and on the haphazard instrument choices in Turkey during the two overlapping crises: Covid-19 crisis and the currency crisis-induced economic crisis in 2018. The chapter argues that the haphazard crisis response and policy non-design was a deliberate choice of the authoritarian Turkish government, which originated from its prioritisation of higher economic growth to serve electoral and political economic constituencies. In addition, haphazard instrument choice and policy non-design caused decay in systemic and organisational policy capacity. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
