Turkey's economy is a complex mix of modern industry, a traditional agricultural sector, and a rapidly growing private sector. At the same time the country is positioning itself and preparing for entry into the European Union. That Turkey should meet her national economic goals is, therefore, particularly important. A vital factor in achieving these will be the country's regional economies and their associated economic policies. To date, however, many of the policy interventions adopted have been based on models drawn from developed economies and the outcome has raised a number of concerns. Are policy interventions drawn from advanced economies appropriate for transitional economies such as Turkey? Aksel Ersoy's book is the first work to explore the dynamics of local and regional development in Turkey. In addition, he offers a new theoretical framework for understanding the local and regional dynamics of emerging and transitional economies more generally.

Aksel Ersoy is Assistant Professor in Urban Development Management, Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. He previously held posts at Oxford Brookes University, Bristol University, and at the universities of Aberdeen and Birmingham. His research focus is upon understanding the complex relationship between social and economic transformations in developing economies, metropolitan cities and the built environment. He also takes a special interest in the political economy of the smart city.
