This book focuses on the dynamics of Turkey's relationship with
Europe in the context of the 'Arab Spring' and analyses Turkish
behaviour vis-a-vis foreign policy cooperation with the EU. Susler
explains the complexity of Turkey-EU relations by looking beyond
membership negotiations and examines informal foreign policy
dialogue between Turkish and EU officials. The book discusses the
reactions of the Turkish government to the uprisings in Libya,
Syria, and Egypt and cooperative opportunities between Turkey and
the EU. The analysis finds that although cooperation varies across
cases, foreign policy dialogue has become a main driver of the
Turkey-EU relationship. A counter-intuitive finding of the research
is that the EU has often been the actor seeking Turkey's
cooperation, rather than the other way round, clearly challenging
the original power asymmetry between Turkey and the EU. Based on
interviews with diplomats and policy makers and extensive
documentary research, this book will be of interest to political
scientists, students, policy makers and researchers focusing on
Turkish foreign policy and Turkey-EU relations. This book is also
about exploring inventive ways of maintaining a complex working
partnership with the EU and will be of interest to scholars working
on the EU's relationship with "outsiders".
