Focusing on the currency crisis-induced economic crisis in Turkey and relying on elite interviews and secondary resources, it argues that the design space, which is defined by the interactions between the credit-led growth model and the growth regime that prioritizes loose monetary and bank regulatory policies for higher economic growth rates, led to haphazard crisis response. Prolonged non-design in response to the crisis triggered policy accumulation and decay in systemic and organizational policy capacity.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessDesignManagementCoalitionsImpactsMakersCrisisToolsPowerDesignManagementCoalitionsImpactspolicy non-designMakerspolicy capacityCrisispolicy accumulationToolspolitical economy of policymakingPowercrisis managementArticle10351065655WOS:00096294060000110.1177/009539972311625222-s2.0-85152962975Q3Q1
