Hülya Kendir

This paper focuses on the structural adjustment policies and the recent
agricultural reform policies in Turkey since 1980’s, which are parallel with the
globalization process in the agricultural sector. In this sense, it tries to indicate
that these new policies reflect the demands of global/international and local
capital, which is integrated with globalization. Finally it shows that the role of the
state has also changed in terms of the changing policies in the agricultural sector.
