Doctrine — stated goals and content

Economic school: reform-in-crisis — secular-centrist coalition government forced into deep IMF-led programme following November 2000 and February 2001 banking/currency twin crisis. Left-right axis: centrist-pragmatic, pro-EU, technocratic-reformist after Derviş arrival March 2001. Dated policies: 17 August 1999 Marmara earthquake emergency response; November 2000 liquidity crisis in banking sector (Demirbank collapse); 19-22 February 2001 currency attack — lira devalued 40%, rate spike; Derviş 15-point "Transition to Strong Economy Programme" 14 April 2001; $16bn IMF Standby (SDR 12.8bn new money, total SDR 19bn); Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BDDK) strengthened 1999-2001; Central Bank independence law April 2001 banning public-sector lending; Copenhagen criteria alignment — constitutional amendments October 2001 (34 articles), EU candidate status confirmed Helsinki December 1999. Popularity: collapse in November 2002 election (DSP ~1%, ANAP ~5%, MHP ~8% — all below 10% threshold). Coherence: moderate — Derviş programme was coherent and delivered disinflation trajectory, but coalition politics fractured.
