Course Content
The course aims to familiarize students with the issues of neo-liberal transformation and changingunderstanding of labour market in Turkey throughout the 2000s, especially exacerbated with the heavy conditionality from international organisations such as the European Union, World Bank and International Monetary Fund. In this context, policy areas to be analyzed include labour market, labour relations and labour law, gender equality, social security, employment, informal labour market and child labour. For each issue, the course will lead to systematic exploration of the actual policy problems and situation in Turkey, the basic institutional and legal framework, as well as the policies made and implemented in Turkey, from a critical perspective.
