摘要

本研究探讨了土耳其在正义与发展党（AKP）政府领导下的公私合作（PPP）道路项目如何转变为制度化的租金提取机制和政治巩固的工具。通过深入的案例研究和各种来源，本分析认为，这些项目是通过操纵可行性和交通预测、合同不透明和不对称的风险分配来系统地构建的，这些风险分配有利于拥有过多国家担保的私人合作伙伴。治理质量的下降加剧了所有这些因素。这种系统性颠覆导致基础设施利用不足、严重的财政负担和社会不平等，为在制度薄弱的背景下与ppp相关的风险提供了一个批判性的视角。

Rent-seeking in megaprojects: The case of Turkey's public-private partnerships for roads

This study investigates how Turkey's public-private partnership (PPP) road projects under the AKP administration transformed into an institutionalized rent-extraction mechanism and a tool for political consolidation. Drawing on an in-depth case study and diverse sources, this analysis argues that these projects were systematically structured through manipulated feasibility and traffic forecasts, contractual opacity, and asymmetric risk allocation that favoured private partners with excessive state guarantees. All of these factors were exacerbated by declining governance quality. This systemic subversion led to infrastructure underutilization, significant fiscal burdens, and social inequity, providing a critical perspective on the risks associated with PPPs in weak institutional contexts.

Utilities Policy invites submissions that apply various quantitative and qualitative methods. Contributions are welcome from both established and emerging scholars as well as accomplished practitioners. Interdisciplinary, comparative, and applied works are encouraged. Submissions to the journal should have a clear focus on governance, performance, and/or analysis of public utilities with an aim toward informing the policymaking process and providing recommendations as appropriate. Relevant topics and issues include but are not limited to industry structures and ownership, market design and dynamics, economic development, resource planning, system modeling, accounting and finance, infrastructure investment, supply and demand efficiency, strategic management and productivity, network operations and integration, supply chains, adaptation and flexibility, service-quality standards, benchmarking and metrics, benefit-cost analysis, behavior and incentives, pricing and demand response, economic and environmental regulation, regulatory performance and impact, restructuring and deregulation, and policy institutions.
