Think Tanks
• TEPAV (Economic Policy Research Foundation of Turkey)
The Economic Policy Research Foundation of Turkey (TEPAV) is an independent, non-governmental and non-partisan think-tank, established in October 2004.
A "trust fund" has been formed through the generous support of The Union of Chambers of Turkey (TOBB) to finance TEPAV. This financial set up is being applied for the first time in Turkey and guarantees the non-partisan structure and independence of the foundation.
TEPAV intends to increase the knowledge content of policy discussions in Turkey. The goal of TEPAV research is to remove the gap between academic research and policy implementation. To this end, scholarly research conducted at TEPAV will lead to concrete policy proposals.
The foundation has three research institutes:
• Economic Policy Research Institute - EPRI
• Economic Stability Institute - ESI
• International Policy Research Institute - IPRI
Those institutes represent the inter-disciplinary nature of TEPAV research.
TEPAV makes its findings and analysis generally available through its publications. It also contributes to the development of the policy discussions with its events.

Its recent studies have addressed issues such as fight against corruption, transparency and accountability, state reform, and the role of Islamic organizations in Turkish economic life. Current research projects include a wide-ranging analysis of Turkish-EU relations, focusing on the substantive issues which will be involved in accession negotiations as well as efforts to contribute to the democratization process in the Middle East. Democratization program concentrates on primary areas such as perceptions and mentality structures in Turkey, civil-military, state-religion, and state-individual relations. Primary areas under the Good Governance program are transparency of public expenditure and public debt, public administration report, fiscal risks, and combating corruption.
