Doctoral Dissertation Research: Welfare System Transformation in TurkeyIntellectual MeritThis research argues that government response to changes in grassroots politics has been the critical force driving the shift from employment-based to income-based policies in the Turkish welfare system over the last four decades. There are three specific hypotheses: (i) welfare institutions contain and mobilize grassroots groups, (ii) the center of Turkish grassroots politics has shifted from the formal to informal proletariat, and ethnically from Turks to Kurds, (iii) the shift from employment-based to income-based policies is a political response to the shift in grassroots politics. The research will create a database of grassroots political events in Turkey since the 1970s using newspaper archives; perform regression analyses of large sample surveys; conduct grassroots interviews; survey official documents, reports, and parliament proceedings; and interview office-holders and welfare officials. This study will contribute to literature on recent welfare system changes, discussing the under-examined effect of social movements. Broader ImpactsThis study will help explain a global trend in welfare policies through detailed investigation of the Turkish case. It will increase understanding of political and structural causes of welfare policies and examine the informal proletariat?s ability to shape government policies. Additionally, this research will investigate bases of popular support for the Islamic government in Turkey and illuminate strategies which this pro-globalization government has pursued vis-à-vis domestic political and social challenges.

博士论文研究：土耳其的福利制度转型知识产权这项研究认为，政府对基层政治变化的反应是推动土耳其福利制度在过去四十年中从以就业为基础的政策转向以收入为基础的政策的关键力量。有三个具体的假设：（一）福利机构包含和动员基层团体，（二）土耳其基层政治的中心已经从正式的非正式的无产阶级，从土耳其人到库尔德人，（三）从就业为基础的政策转向收入为基础的政策是在基层政治的转变的政治反应。该研究将使用报纸档案创建自20世纪70年代以来土耳其基层政治事件的数据库;对大样本调查进行回归分析;进行基层访谈;调查官方文件，报告和议会程序;并采访官员和福利官员。这项研究将有助于文献最近的福利制度的变化，讨论社会运动的影响不足。更广泛的影响这项研究将有助于通过对土耳其案例的详细调查来解释福利政策的全球趋势。它将增加对福利政策的政治和结构原因的理解，并研究非正式的无产阶级？的能力来塑造政府政策。此外，本研究将调查民众支持土耳其伊斯兰政府的基础，并阐明这个支持全球化的政府在国内政治和社会挑战方面所采取的战略。
