In the last decades across many parts of Europe aregional level of governance has been emerging, atrend which has not been observed in Turkey despiteits extreme regional disparities. Since the Helsinkisummit of the EU leaders in 1999 when Turkey wasadmitted as a candidate country, EU conditionalityhas been increasingly challenging Turkey’scentralised territorial governance. Thisbook has two overall aims. First, it aims to identifythe key mechanisms through which institutionalstability has been sustained over time hindering theemergence of a level of regional governance inTurkey. Second, it examines whether and theways in which EU conditionality and/orpolicy-learning is leading to institutional changein the current period through a comparative study ofthree regions in Turkey. This book addresses the gapin literature on institutional capacity at theregional level in Turkey and on the attitudes oflocal and regional actors in Turkey to the issue ofregional governance and the EU. The analysis in thisbook should be useful to professionals and regionalpolicy practitioners.
