By the late 1990s, a democratisation project has come to the agenda in Turkey in relation to a possible membership to the European Union. This thesis analyses this democratisation project with special reference to the reports published by TÜSİAD accordingly. Within the scope of the thesis, as well as the theoretical bases of the reports, the motives behind TÜSİAD̕s support for this project will also be dealt with. It will be argued that, in order to grasp the specificity of both the democratisation project and TÜSİAD̕s support for it, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the historical process that these take place in; and, some key developments at the national and international contexts will be investigated in this direction. For this investigation, a relational approach based upon Nicos Poulantzas̕s state theory and Bob Jessop̕s conceptualisation of أhegemonic projectؤ will be made use of. The implications that the subject matters have for the form of state, form of regime, and class relations will be elaborated on.

THE ROLE OF REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCIES IN TURKEY FROM IMPLEMENTING EU DIRECTIVES TO SUPPORTING REGIONAL BUSINESS COMMUNITIES?
Lagendijk, Arnoud; Kayasü, Serap; Yasar, Suna (2009-10-01)
Turkey's step-by-step embedding in the institutional and policy environment of the EU is currently compelling the country to establish a fitting structure of regional governance. A key element in this structure is the creation of regions at the NUTS-II level which will be equipped with Regional Development Agencies (RDAs). Yet the present political and economic situation in Turkey throws some doubt on the scope and future for RDA development. To what extent will the central state be able and willing to devo...
The Roots of Anti-Americanism in Turkey 1945-1960
Ünlü Bilgiç, Tuba (2015-12-01)
The conventional wisdom asserts that anti-Americanism in Turkey started as a result of the Cyprus Crisis in 1964. Yet the roots of anti-Americanism can be traced back to the 1945-1960 period, the rosy years of Turkish-American relations. In these years, some in Turkey criticized the government for granting political and economic concessions to the U.S. which were, they thought, reminiscent of the infamous capitulations of the Ottoman period. Furthermore, they argued, Turkey did not become an equal ally but ...
