short
biographie
Çağrı Çarıkçı is an Assistant Professor of Public Finance at Istanbul University and a Visiting Researcher at Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University, Géographie-Cités (UMR 8504). His research lies at the intersection of political economy, economic geography, and critical urban studies, with a focus on infrastructure financialization, state-capital relations, de-risking, green transitions, and territorial restructuring. His current work examines how public guarantees, development institutions, sovereign vehicles, and financial instruments reorganize risks and rents across green and digital infrastructure. He has conducted research on municipal green finance in France, megaprojects and public-private partnerships in Turkey, and comparative processes of infrastructure investment and financialization. He holds a PhD in Economics from Istanbul University.

contribution to the project
Çağrı Çarıkçı examines how state-driven de-risking is reshaping extractivism amid the green energy transition. Focusing on Turkey, he investigates how guarantees, long-term purchase agreements, and the assumption of public risks redistribute risks and returns among the state, domestic companies, and transnational capital. By linking critical finance studies on risk mitigation with debates on extractivism, his project develops the concept of “financialized extractivism”. Furthermore, he compares the cases of renewable projects in Morocco and Turkey, situating them within broader debates in the Global South on climate finance and development.
