A socio-economic study of how neo-liberal economic reforms have transformed agriculture, rural life, and poverty in Turkey. Öztürk examines policy shifts since the 1980s toward reduced state involvement and greater integration with global markets, analysing structural changes in farming, the effects on small-scale producers and rural communities, and the socio-economic consequences for peasantry and the poor. The book situates Turkey’s experience within broader debates over global capitalism and development, highlighting how liberalisation policies affect agrarian economies, rural employment, and social welfare, and offering empirical and theoretical insights into the challenges rural societies face under neo-liberalisation.
