The restructuring of the Turkish public sector as part of the strategy for Europeanisation

Summary/Abstract: The Turkish bourgeoisie and government are concerned about the economic integration process, the political criteria and the conclusions of the European Council meetings; while liberal left parties, social democrats and most civil society organisations are trying to keep human rights issues on the current EU-related agenda. This article aims at assessing the whole process from a rather different point of view and tries to debate an area which is observed not to have been analysed sufficiently. That is to say, this article will assess the issue of the restructuring of the Turkish state, a process that is considered to be part of the Turkish integration process with the EU. In assessing the restructuring process, the main focus will be upon employment relations and labour processes in the public sector. Additionally, however, the ways in which the restructuring of public sector employment and administration affect employees in the sector will be analysed.
