From Hydro Bureaucrats to Hydro Entrepreneurs: Exploring the Impact of Changing Hydropower Politics on the Conceptions of Citizenship and Common Good in Turkey: A Case Study of Artvin

My doctoral research aims to understand the emerging contentions on common good and citizenship in Turkey as an implication of Turkey’s adoption of free market mechanisms in energy production. In my research, I analyze the different legal (courts), material (public participation meetings) and conceptual (posing livelihoods as an alternative to private property) sites these contentions occur in the context of rising rural resistances in Turkey.
