Abstract

The size of the public sector has been affected by both economic approaches and the functions undertaken by the government over time. While government intervention served the purpose of eliminating market failures, it also caused the increase in government failures. Pork barrel, which is among the government failures, is a type of political corruption that causes to economic inefficiencies as politicians distribute public resources for reelection. Factors such as the electoral system applied in the countries, the budget process, the existence of commissions, the political regime, electoral systems, ideological and partisan attitudes affect the pork barreling. Pork barreling generally occurs within the framework of party policies in Turkey.
