ABSTRACT

Through analysis of a low-income neighbourhood in Istanbul in the context of ‘2018 construction peace’, this article considers the linked dynamics of neoliberal governmentality and electoral exchange. The 2018 law allowed the government to retroactively legalize informal construction, further encouraging its inclusion into the formal market. This strengthens the financialization of the urban property market by encouraging owners of informal dwellings to embrace a rationality based on the exchange, rather than the use value of housing. At the same time, this initiative was a throwback to an older policy. Enacted in the run-up to a closely contested election as part of a package of targeted deals and concessions, this initiative is compatible with the populist politics of electoral exchange.

摘要

通过在``2018年建筑和平''背景下对伊斯坦布尔的一个低收入社区进行分析，本文考虑了新自由主义政府与选举交流的联系动力。2018年的法律允许政府追溯非正式建筑的合法化，进一步鼓励将其纳入正式市场。通过鼓励非正式住房的所有者接受基于交换而非住房使用价值的合理性，从而加强了城市房地产市场的金融化。同时，该倡议是对较旧政策的回落。作为有针对性的交易和让步方案的一部分，在一场激烈竞争的选举前夕制定了该倡议，该倡议与选举交换的民粹主义政治兼容。
