Pinar Bedirhanoglu (Redaktør) Çaglar Dölek (Redaktør) Funda Hülagü (Redaktør) Özlem Kaygusuz (Redaktør)
«Turkish political economy has a new milestone. Empirically- and theoretically-rich, this book relentlessly traverses the neoliberal and financial transformation of Turkey under the AKP, posing an uncompromising challenge to the course of Turkish democracy and development. Read it. I say again: Read it!»
