Political and Socioeconomic Transformation of Turkey

'œ...a welcome addition to the literature concerned with the contemporary Turkish republic. Its particular significance lies in its authorship. This is a book prepared by ten scholars of modern Turkey, all Turkish nationals, eight currently teaching in that country's institutions of higher learning. Moreover, these scholars represent some of the best of Turkish scholarship in a range of disciplines covering political science, sociology, economics, and international relations. For those of us long habituated to reading the works of American and expatriate scholars, this volume is a refreshing and exciting production. The contributors to this book combine high standards of academic rigor with personal insight that can only derive from day-to-day immersion in Turkey's political and socioeconomic life. An important contribution to our understanding and should appeal to an audience well beyond the specialist in Turkish affairs.'' Journal of Developing AreasYesilada, Birol A. is the author of 'Political and Socioeconomic Transformation of Turkey' with ISBN 9780275932046 and ISBN 0275932044.
