Deer Suchia,
You may also find the following studies interesting since they all
relate somehow to your PhD subject; the introduction of modern design
education in emerging economies (late 1950s onwards);
G. Bonsiepe (1991). "Developing Countries: Awareness of Design and the
Peripheral Condition" in History of Design: 1919--1990 The Dominion of
Design, Milan: Electa.
H. A. Er, (1997). The Development Patterns of Industrial Design in the
Third World: A Conceptual Model for Newly Industrialised Countries,
Journal of Design History Vol. 10, n3, pp. 293-309.
H. A. Er, (2001). The Advantage or Disadvantage of Delay? - Peculiar
Characteristics of Industrial Design Education in the Periphery, in
Designing Designers --Training Strategies for the Third Millenium,
Edizioni POLI.DESIGN, Milano.
H. A. Er, F. Korkut and O. Er (2003). U.S. Involvement in the
Development of Design in the Periphery: The Case History of Industrial
Design Education in Turkey, 1950s--1970s, Design Issues, Vol. 19. n2.
and finally a recent update on the Turkish case;
H. A. (2009) A Creative Convergence of Modernity, Globalization and
Tradition: Understanding Industrial Design in Turkey, Asia Design
Journal, Vol.4 No. 4, KDRI, Seoul National University.
I would be happy if you keep me informed about the output of your research.
Best wishes,
