Abstract

The first examples of workers' control and workers' self-management in Turkey were seen in the 1960s and 1970s, and discussions on this issue intensified in the same years. Workers' control and workers’ self-management in Turkey can be followed through two different models: First, workers' control and self-management experiences through factory occupation, and second, new generation cooperatives and communes that can be evaluated within the scope of social and solidarity economy. In this study, first the concept of workers’ control and self-management will be explained, and then the experiences and discussions on workers’ control and self-management in Turkey will be examined.
