Turkey Institute Information

Turkey Institute is a London-based centre of research, analysis and discussion on Turkey. It aims to offer high-quality analysis of the society and state in Turkey with special emphasis on domestic & foreign policy and the economy and to provide objective updates and organise high-level discussions on current issues, especially in relation to democratic governance, human rights, the rule of law and constitutional reform. Its work is intended to benefit policy-makers, the media and other relevant stakeholders to enable a more nuanced and thorough understanding of a country whose politics is most convoluted and difficult to unravel but at the same time whose successes and failures have wider implications for the region and wider world at a number of levels including the political, economic, cultural and religious. Turkey Institute has no affiliation with any political party in the UK or in Turkey, and it does not belong to any ideological camp. It professes a bias in favour of democratic governance, human rights, and the rule of law, public accountability, and freedom of speech and it strives to defend and promote these values.
