Abstract
This essay aims at revealing the connection between neoliberalism and extractivism in Turkey by focusing on gold extractivism. It begins with the conceptual background of neoliberalism and extractivism, then describes how neoliberalism met Türkey on January 24, 1980, and how it continued during the military regime and the following Turgut Özal regime. The essay will also demonstrate how the current Justice and Development Party (AKP) improved neoliberalism in Turkey. Finally, the essay will reveal how extractivism and especially gold extractivism has continued and increased and the harm that it has done to human and non-hüman populations, nature, and the environment.
