REFORM IN
TURKEY
|
|

|
|
The system of governance in Turkey has traditionally
been highly centralised, run out of Ankara
by a strong national bureaucracy that
dominates over weak, dependent, provincial
and local governments. For decades, moreover,
the state institutions have been resistant
to serious change and governments have
been reluctant to draw on external advice
and assistance for the reform of the administrative
systems of government. More >>>
