Social housing policy and the welfare regime in Turkey: A comparative perspective
(Thesis (M.A.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in the Social Sciences, 2017., 2017.) Gürbüztürk, Anıl.; Buğra, Ayşe,
This thesis examines how the housing policy and the housing sector in Turkey have been shaped by the country’s welfare regime through its transformation in the Republican period. The investigation of the Turkish case is undertaken in a comparative historical perspective, where Turkey’s welfare regime is discussed in terms of its similarities with the Southern European one, and this discussion is extended to the common characteristics of the housing policy and the housing sector in Turkey and in four Southern European countries. It is argued that the direction of welfare regime change in Turkey was different from the one observed in South European EU member states, and this difference is reflected in the new trajectory of housing policy.
