EDITORIAL

Incomes policy not the courts’ business Who is ultimately in charge of fashioning the country's incomes policy? Does responsibility lie with the government, or with the courts? Experience shows that this is not a rhetorical question. In fact, the confusion has often caused problems, putting the government's economic policy at risk. The latest example is the decision by the Court of First Instance to grant a 176-euro subsidy to local authority employees (OTA) who have appealed to the court.

COMMENTARY

The Turkish crisis Turkey appears to be sinking into crisis. The rhetorical clash between Islamist Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Kemalist President Ahmet Necdet Sezer reveals structural differences of opinion on the nature of the state itself. Meanwhile, forces that have solidly supported Turkey for half a century are being treated with caution by Ankara. US policy on the Kurds of Iraq and the pressure to adapt in view of Turkey's European Union prospects have created insecurity in the Turkish establishment.
