Özet

This study aims to fill this gap by examining the Filyos Valley Project in terms of a governance approach. Based on semi-structured elite interviews, it concludes that the Filyos Valley Project was superficially conducted in line with the governance perspective but did not include a meaningful governance approach. The reasons are the decisive position of the central government, the discovery of natural gas in the region, the influence of political rivalry, insufficient efforts to address the stakeholders’ concerns, and the lack of feedback from the central.
