Digitalisation in Turkey

Turkey offers an interesting case study, both when it comes to the practice and the regulation of digitalisation, as it combines a Western economic and legal system with an emerging country approach to digitalisation. This co-edited volume examines the history, policies, economics and various regulations of digitalisation in Turkey. Chapters provide a comprehensive overview of how digitalisation has developed in Turkey and how digitalisation has come to be regulated, inspired by EU legislation yet with a Turkish touch. It explores the take up of digitalisation by industry, society, and government, before delving into examples from fin-tech and cryptocurrency, to social media and e-commerce, and yielding lessons for comparable emerging countries. Covering all the relevant aspects of digitalisation, this book will be of interest to academics and students, particularly to those with an interest in innovation, economics of digitalization, policy and regulation.
