The aim of this thesis is to analyze the union activities of the Federation of Revolutionary Workers Trade Union (Dev-İş) at the Cyprus Turkish Industry Holding Enterprises Ltd. Company (the Industrial Holdings) in Northern Cyprus. Dev-İş was created on 30 November 1976 by the merger of three trade unions whose members were working at different business sectors operating in Northern Cyprus. These were Revolutionary General Work Trade Union (DGİS), The United Public, Cooperative, Agricultural & Other Services & Crafts Workers Trade Union (Emek-İş) and the Cyprus Turkish Petroleum Workers Trade Union (Petrol-İş). While Dev-İş was one of the important trade union federations in Northern Cyprus, the Industrial Holdings were also among the first public enterprises operating almost in all manufacturing sectors there. Dev-İş became active at this company through DGİS member employees and maintained its union activities there until the privatization of this company in 1998. Therefore, although the main aim of the thesis to analyze the union activities of Dev-İş at the Industrial Holdings, the establishment and liquidation through privatization of the company enterprises will also be examined in this thesis as well since the latter has a significant place both in the history of Dev-İş and in the economic history of Northern Cyprus.

Trade liberalization and innovation decisions of firms: Lessons from Post-1980 Turkey
Pamukcu, Mehmet Teoman (2003-01-01)
Determinants of innovation decisions of Turkish manufacturing firms are estimated for 1989-93, with an emphasis on determinants that are linked to trade policy reforms of the 1980s. Using plant-level data, we find that positive effects of trade liberalization on innovation decision are transmitted mainly through technology embodied in imported machinery. Being a technology licensee, an exporter, or having a foreign partner does not exert a significant positive effect on a firm's probability to innovate, nor...

Changing labour market positions and workplace interactions of irregular moldovan migrants: the case of textile/clothing sector in İstanbul, Turkey
Dağdelen, Görkem; Rittersberger Tılıç, Helga İda; Department of Sociology (2008)
The new international division of labour has transformed the economic structure of Turkey from an import-substituted to an export-oriented economy. Starting from the early 90s, many Moldovan migrants began to come to Turkey in order to work temporarily in the informal economy. They worked in clothing and shoe ateliers until the beginning of this century. Nowadays many Moldovan migrants work in clothing shops as Russian-speaking sales assistants and in the cargo firms as carriers. Based on this historical co...
