Several years ago, having co-authored, a study of the Aswan Dam for the Rand Graduate Institute, which was developing materials for courses in technology and public policy, the author began to think about studying another large project to determine whether the pattern of decision making in the Aswan Dam case was idyosincratic or whether it was commonplace. That pattern had led to significant problems and, though it could not be easily assessed whether the dam's benefits exceeded its costs, there was no doubt that the costs that were incurred, social, economic, cultural and environmental, were much higher than they needed to be. While carrying out a project concerning an iron and steel plant at Eregli, the author became interested in the overall condition of Turkey's iron and steel sector and began to explore the possibility of expanding the work that he had done and placing it within a larger context, both theoretical and empirical. A Fulbright Senior Research Fellowship in the summer of 1983 enabled him to carry out the necessary research and a sabbatical year, in 1984-1985, at St Antony's College, Oxford, gave him the opportunity to write a first draft.
