Abstract
This chapter evaluates the political economy of education in Turkey under the rule of the Justice and Development Party (AKP). The education regime does not stand on its own and must be located within the general economic, social, and political conditions within which state, capital, and class relations are constituted. Thus, an understanding of the realities behind the education regime in Turkey requires an analysis of the Turkish economy, the transformation in the form of the Turkish state, the development of capital, and the experience of class politics. This study explores the contemporary education regime under AKP rule in the context of the historical and socioeconomic and political circumstances within which it is embedded.
