Özet:
This dissertation aims to investigate the dialectical relationship between the organisational capacity of the working class at the trade union/political party levels and the state policies vis-à-vis the case studies concerning the impact of the working class struggle on labour market reform processes in Greece with a well-organised/potent working class and Turkey with a respectively less-organised/weak one. While comparing the Greek and Turkish trajectories of transition from Keynesian to monetarist competitive economic policies with reference to their specific labour regimes, both countries are analysed in terms of their history of class struggle, evolution of capitalism, transformation of economic policies and the role of military dictatorships (as extraordinary forms of state) in the struggle inherent to the labour-capital relation as well as intraclass conflicts of the bourgeoisie, and labour market reforms are related to the persistence of capital accumulation. The level of working class resistance to the labour market reforms in Greece and Turkey are measured with reference to the organisational capacity of the working class at the trade union/political party level, the attachment of unions to class unionism, the relations between the trade unions and political parties, and the extent of the working class collectivity. This dissertation argues that a well-organised working class struggle is capable of having an impact on labour market reform processes as the Greek case illustrates, whereas a limited working class struggle could only yield limited benefits while failing to avert a substantial deprivation of rights as witnessed in the Turkish case.
