Reviews:

...those interested in Turkey's recent economic development and those involved in similar policy choices elsewhere will find the analyses and data of the Turkish SSAP engaging and useful. I recommend this book to economists interested in Turkey's recent development, to policymakers involved in or considering SSAPs elsewhere, and to research libraries maintaining strong collections on Turkey and/or economic development policy.

Description: The standing of industrialization has fallen in the list of social and economic objectives of developing countries in recent years. Turkey provides an ideal example of this beginning with a program adopted in 1980 under the auspices of the IMF and the World Bank. The macroeconomic and microeconomic issues concerning Turkish industrialization in global context with particular emphasis on the decade of the 1980s are examined. The rapid transformation in industrialization strategy from import substitution under heavy state direction to outward orientation has had a profound effect on industrialization of Turkey.
