Özet

Over the past 70 years, significant fluctuations, crises, devaluations, and economic developments in the Turkish economy have been accompanied by changes in economic and fiscal policies. During this period, new economic and fiscal approaches emerged alongside changes in economic schools of thought, giving rise to new budgeting processes, areas of expenditure, and tax revenues. The relative importance of issues in the field of public finance has changed due to the accelerating pace of technological developments, and important concepts such as globalization and digitalization have emerged. Academia has anticipated these developments, sometimes kept pace with them, and followed them retrospectively. The contributions made by public finance scholars in our country to literature and change have facilitated the transformation of these fields over time and the emergence of some new areas of study. However, by completing the missions of other topics and not participating in new studies, it provides very specific and valuable information on both the fiscal problems facing our country and developments in the field of public finance. To this end, works in the field of public finance must be analyzed over a long period of time. This study is also important in terms of identifying the contributions of public finance scholars to these dynamics in Turkiye's rapidly changing and transforming fiscal structure. As indicated in the literature section, some similar studies conducted in our country include analyses of publications from the 2000s onwards. This study, conducted with a much longer-term perspective, employs a holistic and historical methodology for its analyses. The study covers a 70-year period from 1955 to 2025. Analyzing the publication topics from a holistic perspective during this time frame will reveal the transformation process of today's fiscal policies and tools.
