Turkish term or phrase: kadrolaşma
Hi,

This word is frequently used of the activities of the ruling party, but what exactly is meant by it?

All the best, and many thanks,

English translation:favoritism / filling government positions with cronies of the same ideological persuasion
Explanation:
Dear Simon,

This word can only be understood in the context of Turkish political life and reporting. I am not sure if there is a single word that can capture what it means, but it is certainly "dolu" :-) Whenever a party fills bureaucratic positions with its own people then this is called kadrolaşma.

İyi çalışmalar,

rob
