Summary of thesis

The Southeastern Anatolia Project (Günedoğu Anadolu Projesi, GAP) is one of the largest integrated development projects of our times. With a total number of 22 hydroelectric dams, large scale water diversions and irrigation schemes, the project represents a "high modernist" attempt to transform a tenth of Turkeys area into an agroindustrial zone. In this thesis, micro-level social impacts shall be examinated.
