The Condition of the Working Class in Turkey : Labour under Neoliberal Authoritarianism Paperback / softback

Edited by Cagatay Edgucan Sahin, Mehmet Erman Erol

Paperback / softback

Description

Decades of neoliberal authoritarianism have propelled Turkey into crisis.

Regime change, economic disaster and Erdogan's ambition to impose 'one-man rule' have shaken the foundations of Turkish political life, but what does this mean for workers?Moving beyond the headlines and personalities, this book uncovers the real condition of the working class in modern Turkey.

Combining field research and in-depth interviews, it offers cutting-edge analyses of workplace struggles, trade unionism, the AKP's relationship with neoliberalism, migration, gender, agrarian change and precarity, as well as the Covid-19 pandemic and its impact on workers. Bringing together Turkish activists and scholars, this book is an inside look at the dynamics and contradictions of working-class resistance against Turkey's neoliberal authoritarian regime; from worker self-management to organised labour and rural struggles.
