Özet:

 The loans provided by the World Bank on a project basis play a significant role in shaping both international and national policy practices. This study conducts a content analysis of the 308 projects funded by World Bank loans in Türkiye. Covering all projects from the first one accepted in 1951 to those still in the pipeline as of 2025, the analysis is based on the projects objectives and content. MAXQDA software was used for the analysis and visualization of results. The findings reveal that the development goals of the projects between Türkiye and the World Bank have been predominantly shaped by the international policy agenda. There is a noticeable shift in project objectives from infrastructure and industry-focused initiatives toward themes like economic liberalization, social development, and environmental sustainability. Türkiyes priorities and unique conditions, however, are mainly reflected in projects addressing economic crises, natural disasters, and refugee support. Future projects are likely to focus on areas emphasized by the global policy agenda, such as climate resilience, energy transitions, and digital innovation, with continued emphasis on sustainable and inclusive development.

 Dünya Bankasının proje bazlı sağladığı krediler uluslararası ve ulusal politika pratiklerinin şekillenmesinde etkili olmaktadır. Türkiyenin, Dünya Bankası kredilerinden yararlandığı projelerin içerik analizinin yapıldığı bu çalışmada 308 proje analiz edilmiştir. Çalışma ilk projenin kabul edildiği 1951 yılından başlayarak, 2025 yılında henüz hazırlık aşamasında olan tüm projeleri kapsamaktadır. İçerik analizi projelerin amaçları ve içerikleri üzerinden yapılmış, analiz ve sonuçların görselleştirilmesi için MAXQDA bilgisayar yazılımı kullanılmıştır. Sonuçta, Türkiye ve Dünya Bankası arasındaki projelerin kalkınma hedeflerinde, uluslararası politika gündeminin ağırlıklı olarak belirleyici olduğu görülmüştür. Projelerin amaçlarında altyapı ve sanayi odaklı girişimlerden ekonomik liberalleşme, sosyal kalkınma ve çevresel sürdürülebilirlik gibi temalara doğru belirgin bir kayma olduğunu görülmektedir Türkiyenin öncelikleri ve özgül koşulları ise ancak ekonomik kriz, doğal afet ve mülteci desteği içeren projelerde izlenmiştir. Gelecek projelerin, iklim direnci, enerji geçişleri ve dijital inovasyon gibi küresel politika gündeminin vurguladığı alanlara odaklanması ve kalkınmanın sürdürülebilir ve kapsayıcılığı üzerindeki vurgunun sürdürülmesi muhtemel görünmektedir.
