This paper examines the structural and behavioral dynamics in Turkey’s policymaking
to test the argument that policy style and political trust interact to determine
Turkey’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. More specifically, it looks
at whether Turkey’s administrative policy style that shapes normal policymaking
through norms, “standard operating procedures,” and institutional arrangements
is reflected in the management of the pandemic which is classified as extraordinary
policymaking (Chapter 1 in this book). This paper is informed by the
premise that politico-administrative decision-making processes are affected by
the structure of administrative organization (Clemens and Cook 1999; Howlett
and Tosun 2019).
