The objective of the study is to make assessments related with today or future of the sector by taking into consideration of the results of the policy implementation.With this objective, Turkish electricity sector is examined within its historical process and the problem identification, policy formulation and policy implementation stages are examined. When these are made, mainly the results of the implemented policy were focused on and a comparison and assessment between the results expected from the formulized policy at the beginning and the achieved results are made.Within this frame, the current similar implementations in the World of the model designed related with the Turkish electricity sector are examined. From the results of the mentioned implementation, the degree of the verification of the beginning hypothesis has been put forward based on the numerical data and it is argued that Turkey could benefit the achieved results.According to the research findings, beginning assumptions of the neo-liberal electricity sector policy that was introduced to almost every country as panacea by international organizations couldn?t be verified. On the contrary, too many negative effects that couldn?t be predicted at the beginning have been observed and it has been determined that the neo-liberal transformation of the sector is in a socially, politically, economically and environmentally problematic state. In this framework, it can obviously seen that the policy that is executing in our country?s electricity sector is not to the country?s benefit and for this reason the requirement of questioning and re-designing of this policy has emerged.trDevlet politikalarıElektrik endüstrisiEnerji politikalarıPolitik süreçSiyasal analizdoctoralThesis
