Abstract

ABSTRACT Under authoritarian neoliberalism, Turkey has seen the number of legal strikes plummet since the mid-1990s. Alongside deepening authoritarianism, the AKP government banned nearly all legal strikes in the 2010s. How have working-class protests fared against this bleak backdrop? Have workers become pliant victims of a repressive regime of accumulation? Or is there evidence of fight left in the Turkish working class? This article addresses these questions through protest event analysis (PEA) of an original dataset of working-class protests between 2015 and 2019. Workers are found to have managed to maintain a significant protest performance despite the increasingly authoritarian environment.

ABSTRACT 在专制的新自由主义统治下，土耳其的合法罢工数量自 20 世纪 90 年代中期以来急剧下降。随着威权主义的加深，2010 年代，土耳其人民党政府禁止了几乎所有合法罢工。在这种暗淡的背景下，工人阶级的抗议活动表现如何？工人是否已成为压制性积累制度的柔弱受害者？还是有证据表明土耳其工人阶级仍在斗争？本文通过对 2015 年至 2019 年期间工人阶级抗议活动的原始数据集进行抗议事件分析（PEA）来探讨这些问题。研究发现，尽管环境日益专制，工人们仍设法保持了显著的抗议表现。
