This book provides the first comprehensive overview of the state of policy analysis in Turkey for an international audience. Policy analysis in Turkey, both as an academic inquiry and as a systematic practice in public and other policy-oriented organizations, was extremely limited up until the 1990s, when it began to establish itself more firmly both in the academy and in government. This book opens with a historical examination of the evolution of policy analysis in Turkey, followed by an in-depth review of the context, constraints, and dominant modes of policy analysis performed by governmental and non-governmental actors.
