Abstract
The theory of sub-imperialism, which originated in the 1960s, has gained more attraction in the past one, two decades. Various supporters of this theory refer to Türkiye (‘Turkey’) as a model for such a sub-imperialist power. We think that both the theory in itself as well as such a characterisation of this Mediterranean country are mistaken. In our view, a more appropriate characterisation for Türkiye would be to call it an advanced capitalist semi-colony. In the following, we will discuss these issues in more detail.
