| Abstract: | This study explores whether the European Union (EU) membership process is transforming the 'deep structure' of Turkish industrial relations which are characterized by restrictive labour laws, employer hostility to unionisation, a large informal economy and labour market, and strong state intervention. In procedural terms, the institutions for social dialogue have been established but the influence of the social partners is limited due to the dominance of the state and the weakness of labour. The existing attempts at developing social dialogue do not rest on firm foundations, mostly due to the state's and employers' disrespect of basic labour rights. |
