De­vel­op­ment sum­mary

Deniz Arslan Ugan ex­am­ines the his­tor­ic­al trans­form­a­tion of the policies and legal rules gov­ern­ing the em­ploy­ment of for­eign­ers in ag­ri­cul­tur­al work in Türki­ye, fo­cus­ing on how they have been re­flec­ted in sec­tor­al prac­tice and ag­ri­cul­tur­al labour short­ages. The art­icle par­tic­u­larly ad­dresses permit ex­emp­tions gran­ted to per­sons under tem­por­ary pro­tec­tion for ag­ri­cul­tur­al work and the con­tinu­ing view of for­eign­ers in ag­ri­cul­ture as a re­serve source of labour work­ing in un­declared jobs.
