Turkey in the Global Economy

Since the late-1990s Turkey has emerged as a significant economic power. Never colonized and straddling the continents of Europe and Asia, it plays a strategically important role in a region of increasing instability.Bulent Gokay examines Turkey s remarkable domestic political and economic transformation over the past two decades within the context of broader regional and global changes. By situating the story of Turkey s economic growth within an analysis of the structural changes and shifts in the world economy, the book provides new insights into the functioning of Turkey s political economy and the successes and failures of its ruling party s economic management.
