As part of her membership negotiations with the EU, Turkey is expected to adopt
the &ldquo / acquis communataire&rdquo / , which requires her to adjust her administrative
structures to European standards in a variety of policy spheres, including the
social policy and social dialogue. Within this context, this thesis aims to analyze
the approaches of the Turkish trade union confederations towards the practices of
social dialogue at the European level, as well as their experiences of social
dialogue mechanisms in Turkey through the data gathered from in depth
interviews with the officials of the three trade union confederations, TURK-IS,
DISK, HAK-IS, and some of their member unions. While all Turkish trade union
confederations find social dialogue mechanisms fairly operational at the EU level,
in relation to Turkey they all agree that such mechanisms are far from meeting
their expectations. Beyond this common point the conceptualizations of social
dialogue, interpretations over its structure, functions, and features, as well as the
evaluations accounting for its underdevelopment in the Turkish context, show
considerable variation across the three confederations.
