In the context of globalization, Turkey plays a unique role. Poised
both geographically and culturally between Europe and the Middle
East, with a formidable political history in both realms and a
thriving modern economy, its domestic affairs inevitably take on a
significance that transcends its borders. Among these its
employment relations regime, as it sets about conforming to the
neoliberal standards of globalization, prove to be of compelling
interest for labour law professionals everywhere. This collection
of thirteen essays by notable Turkish legal academics in the field
presents practitioners and researchers with in-depth analysis and
commentary on such aspects as the following: ways to raise the
floor on working conditions; impact of multinational corporations'
research and development activities on skills and labour costs;
education inequalities, skills development, and the role of
technology; environment and sustainability issues; Turkey's
proposed severance pay fund as a flexicurity measure; the nature of
subcontracted labour particularly as revealed in Turkey's
shipbuilding industry; ;labour unionism and collective bargaining;
female employment and gender-based discrimination; and mobbing and
workplace bullying. The overall analysis does justice to the book's
stated aim of exploring the integration of Turkey's system of
labour and employment relations through transnational connections
which have reached levels that can no longer be restricted to
national boundaries. Expertly considering these new dimensions and
challenges caused by the process of globalization, it addresses the
research needs of academics in labour economics and employment
relations as well as the interests of human resource management
specialists, employer associations and labour unions.
