| Summary/Abstract |
There is no doubt that corruption in Turkey has a continuing and pervasive presence, with less evidence that it is diminishing and more evidence that corruption continues to be embedded in the political and administrative structures. On the other hand, it is also clear that Turkey has substantial legal and institutional means to address corruption. Part of the reason that they do not appear to have significantly impacted on corruption may be the countervailing influences of enduring cultural traditions within the public sector and among citizens. The article, in taking an overview of the articles in the Issue, emphasizes the role of awareness and training in ethics for both citizens and public officials as a central and integral aspect of any continuing reform agenda.

| Summary/Abstract |
Accession of Turkey to the European Union (EU) has brought a focus on issues of corruption and public ethics. The various reviews have emphasized that these issues are both long-standing and continuing. Given that such issues have been concerning the EU both before and after the accession of other countries, the current Turkish context is assessed in terms of laws, institutions and strategies. The article argues that Turkey is well-served in terms of laws, institutions and strategies, but that there are issues relating to the continuing state tradition and socio-political and administrative culture, to implementation of laws and the effectiveness of institutions, as well as the connectedness of the overall anti-corruption and public ethics approaches. In particular, the article notes that the question of changing current tradition and culture are central to Turkey's progress in meeting European concerns and expectations.
