Since 1980, Turkey has been changing its growth strategy from protectionist import substitution to one more market-oriented and outward looking. As the restructuring has unfolded, the domestic market has opened up to foreigners. This paper discusses the increasing involvement in the economy of producer service firms with foreign capital. We describe 278 such firms: when they entered the Turkish market, their countries of origin (mostly European Community countries), industry groups and ownership structure. The most popular choice of location has been Istanbul.

Globalization and the political economy of reform in Jordan (1989-2002)
Sütalan, Zeynep; Tür Küçükkaya, Özlem; Department of Middle East Studies (2006)
Economic reform packages became important for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) by the 1980s. Mainly as a result of the growing external debt, together with the regional stagnation that began after the second oil shock in the early 1980s, most of the MENA countries were affected by economic crisis. As a response to the economic crises, which also mostly resulted in regime legitimacy crises, many MENA countries initiated economic liberalization programs in cooperation with the International Monetary Fu...
HOUSING IN TURKEY - PROSPECTS FOR DIFFERENT INCOME GROUPS
BELER, F; TURKSOY, O (1989-01-01)
It is imperative to develop a macro-level framework, and long-term policy alternatives to solve the housing problems of Turkey. Since most of the past housing programmes in Turkey were dependent on the estimation of housing needs, effective demand could not be properly evaluated. Yet, housing demand is closely connected with income level and ability to pay. So, effective housing programmes necessitate the predetermination of target groups, where income level and income share devoted to housing expenditures ...
Empirical investigation of owner-occupiers' reinvestments in housing: the case of Ankara, Turkey
Özdemir Sarı, Özgül Burcu (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-03-01)
In Turkey, reinvestments in the existing housing stock are entirely dependent on households' decisions in the free market. There are no policies to consider reinvestment processes, and the body of knowledge on households' reinvestment decisions is scant. Understanding how individual reinvestment decisions are determined is vital to devise policy measures to improve the condition of the existing housing stock and neighbourhoods. In this study, an attempt is made to identify the basic motivations and factors ...
Case study: decent work and economic growth (SDG8)
Evans, Mark; Whitehead, Timothy; Osanjo, Lilac; Gamaliel, Mugumbya; Wiyancoko, Dudy; Hasdoğan, Gülay Fatma (Routledge, 2021-1-14)
The contribution of design to an export economy is well recognised and can have a significant impact on balance of trade. Whilst many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have economies that are supported by the export of raw materials or primary agricultural resources, adding value to sustainable indigenous materials through innovative design-led product development remains an untapped source of wealth generation. This chapter reports on a Research Council UK (RCUK) Global Challenges Research Fund (GCR...
Globalization and urban governance in Istanbul
Uzun, Cemile Nil (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2007-03-01)
Since the 1980s, the topic of governance has been extensively investigated in parallel with the effects of globalization on policy issues. Meanwhile, there has been an increasing fragmentation of responsibilities in the urban arena. Now, the main focus is on new institutional relations and the policy process in which different constituents and agencies participate at both the national and the local level. As a result of the rescaling process of the state, networked forms of governance constitute a new form ...
