Democratic Institutions of Undemocratic Individuals

This book carries out a systematic analysis of the effects of economic globalization on democratization. The author studies the labour institutions of Turkey and Argentina from three criteria of internal functioning, external participation, and structural organization.

"This is an important study that will be valuable for scholars of comparative politics and public policy as well as for practitioners working on issues concerning privatization and economic reforms." - Sabri Sayari, Sabanci University
