Turkey: A Country Study is a comprehensive guide to the history, culture, politics, and economy of Turkey. Written by the Federal Research Division of the Library of Congress, the book provides an in-depth analysis of Turkey's geography, demographics, and government structure, as well as its relations with neighboring countries and the international community.The book begins with an overview of Turkey's history, from its ancient civilizations to the modern era. It then delves into the country's geography and climate, including its diverse landscapes and natural resources. The authors also explore Turkey's demographics, including its ethnic and religious makeup, as well as its education and healthcare systems.The political section of the book covers Turkey's government structure, including its constitution, political parties, and elections. The authors also examine Turkey's foreign relations, including its membership in NATO and its relationship with the European Union.The book also provides a detailed analysis of Turkey's economy, including its major industries and trade partners. The authors examine Turkey's economic reforms in recent years, as well as the challenges the country faces in terms of income inequality and unemployment.Throughout the book, the authors provide insights into Turkey's rich cultural heritage, including its art, music, and cuisine. They also explore the country's religious traditions, including Islam, Christianity, and Judaism.Overall, Turkey: A Country Study is an essential resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of this fascinating country. Whether you are a student, researcher, or simply a curious traveler, this book provides a comprehensive and insightful look at Turkey's history, culture, and politics.Domestic industries also lost ground in export markets because of increases in the cost of raw materials and energy. Turkey's trade deficit reached US$4 billion in 1977, contributing to a balance of payments deficit nearly five times the 1974 level. Becoming skeptical of Turkey's ability to repay existing debts, a number of foreign creditors refused to extend further loans. As a result, the country virtually ran out of foreign exchange to meet its immediate commitments and was faced with national bankruptcy, which was averted only when the Central Bank intervened by suspending payments for many imports and, in effect, forced credit from foreign exporters.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
