Routledge - New Public Management in Turkey: Local Government Reform

Explore the significant shifts in Turkish governance with New Public Management in Turkey: Local Government Reform. Published by Routledge, this book provides a deep look into the neoliberal agenda that has shaped the nation over the last thirty years. As Turkey has worked toward European Union integration, its attempts to reform existing governance systems have become a major point of interest for public management scholars across the globe. This work stands as the first book to analyze large-scale public administration reforms in Turkey through the lens of democracy, transparency, accountability, and localization. By systematically examining literature on Turkish local government spanning a 25-year period, it offers a clear understanding of how administrative structures have changed. It is an essential resource for students, academics, and professionals interested in the evolution of public management and the complexities of regional governance reforms.
