Accession to the EU is a major priority for Turkey. A key factor in that process is that the country deals with its environmental problems. Turkey began to engage seriously with its environmental issues in the early 1990s and although some improvements have been made – in its administrative set up and in waste management, for example – much remains to be done in tackling the reality of environmental pollution within the country. In Environment and Politics in Turkey, Vakur Sumer provides a detailed and comprehensive analysis of the country’s progress as it attempts to comply with European Union requirements. The author analyses the Turkey’s successes to date but - importantly - also considers the delays and difficulties experienced and the reasons behind them. He includes recommendations for overcoming the environmental challenges.
