Citizen-Centered Public Policy Making in Turkey

Abstract

This chapter assesses the reflections of citizen-centered public policies (CCPP) in Turkey’s higher education (HE) policy and implementations. It begins by briefly framing the CCPP in Turkish public administration and deepens the analysis by transforming the HE policy and practices in line with citizen-centered public policy-making. The organization of the chapter was formulated to include three main issues as framed by Undheim and Blakemore (A Handbook for Citizen-centric eGovernment, European Commission, EU Institutions.https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/sites/default/files/document/2014-12/media1781.pdf Accessed 1 Oct 2022, 2007) while examining the citizen-centered policies in terms of three groups that produce and/or consume government services. To this end, a general portrait of how higher policies and implementations are transforming in the current era is discussed for these three groups: politicians, policymakers, and producers and users. As the methodological approach, the narrative literature review is carried out through journal articles, reports (e.g., OECD), legislation, and documents of Council of Higher Education (CoHE) produced to regulate the citizen-centered policies in HE. By presenting a comprehensive overview of CCPP in Turkey, this up-to-date review has the potential to serve as a reference source for academics and students who want to make international benchmarking.
