| Summary: | This study is about civil servants’ union rights in Türkiye during the Cold War. The article will also discuss trade union rights the right to organize a union, the right to collective bargaining, and the right to strike. The aim of this study is to compare the developments regarding civil servants’ union rights in Türkiye during the Cold War with the developments in the Western Bloc. The article uses the document analysis method to examine the developments regarding civil servants’ union rights in Türkiye and the Western Bloc and evaluates the changes that occurred in Türkiye primarily through the Turkish Constitution and laws of the period, as well as through the discussions that occurred in the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye as these legislations were being formed. The article uses the international documents created by the United Nations, the International Labour Organization, and the Council of Europe to examine the developments in the Western Bloc. Türkiye, which was trying to integrate into the Western Bloc that was led by United States both militarily and ideologically during the Cold War, can be said to have differed from its allies in terms of its civil servants’ union rights, except for the period between 1961-1971. In a broad sense, Türkiye can be argued to have fallen far behind its Western allies during the Cold War in terms of recognizing and securing its civil servants’ union rights at the constitutional and legal levels. |
