DESCRIPTION:My research looks at how local firms in the automotive manufac
 turing industry generate their workforce with technical skills in Mexico a
 nd Turkey. I adopt an institutionalist approach and try to understand the 
 institutional environment of the skill systems in these countries and how 
 those shape the individual firm’s behaviour. In the first part of this s
 eminar\, I will briefly discuss the theory on varieties of capitalisms and
  the place of the skill systems within that. After\, I compare the types o
 f capitalisms in Mexico and Turkey through studying the existing research.
  Later I will explain my research design and data as well as the data coll
 ection process. Finally\, I will try to give an overview of my findings an
 d explain possible implications of the skill systems on the labour markets
  and production regimes in Mexico and Turkey. manufacturing companies.
