Although Europeanization dynamics were effective in Turkey in recent decades due to the acceleration of European Union (EU) accession process after 1999, healthcare reforms demonstrate a distinct process. This article analyzes the factors behind the health transformation through employing a policy transfer framework. It argues that a parallel process of health-policy transfer with Europeanization in other areas emerged in Turkey, and rather than the EU push, the Turkish healthcare model was a result of voluntary engagement for eliminating problems in this domain.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessEuropeanizationhealthcarepolicy changepolicy transferTurkish politicsTurkish modelArticleQ2Q1184665687WOS:000414705300005
