This book details the transformation processes that impinge on constitutionally ordained governance by drawing on the new theoretical approaches in the urban sciences. It is unique in terms of its focused content, which thoroughly analyses the transformation of space and governance in Turkey and beyond and how urban institutions have emerged and changed since their inception.

Underlining the distinct structural characteristics, this book unearths the significant socio-political and economic processes which are critical to the political articulation of governance in cities. It follows a multidisciplinary approach which helps understand ‘the social churning’ that has radically altered the conventions of urban politics. It also attempts to draw out the theoretical implications of cities’ peculiar socio-economic and political processes, based on a rigorous empirical investigation, in which ‘political’ is envisioned and fashioned.

This book will be useful to students, researchers and teachers working in the field of urban and social science, public administration, urban sociology, political economy and urban politics. It will also be an invaluable and interesting reading for those invested in Asian studies.
