Abstract: Abstract This chapter covers the introduction of liberalisation period (2001–2015), and revolves around the question of how and why electricity liberalisation, as a foreign-inspired policy and a reflection of global power structures, influenced Türkiye’s domestic energy policy preferences. Major political economic factors affecting the introduction of liberalisation, and their interactions, are revealed in two parts. The first part analyses external political economic factors which affected Türkiye’s domestic energy policy preferences from the perspective of structural power, and the second part clarifies how internal economic and political factors converged with those in the external realm. It explains how a convergence between internal and external political economic factors emerged prior to actual liberalisation, triggered the reform and sustained it. Thus, connections through which power structures influence agents’ preferences and behaviours are explored through the case of Türkiye.
