Modernization, Globalization and Europeanization in the Cities of Anatolia, Turkey in Post 1980s
This study will portray the socio-economic and cultural bases of the alternative modernity claims of three Anatolian cities: Kayseri, Gaziantep and Eskisehir. The intention is to build a picture of the local socio-economic and cultural capacities of these cities and compare them. This comparative analysis will also involve a temporal dimension in the differentiation between the pre-1980s and post-1980s periods.
