This book makes the case for looking afresh at Turkey-EU relations
in order to appreciate the richness and complexity of a
relationship which is now more than 50 years old and is still not
close to reaching fulfilment. The contributors challenge
conventional attempts to understand Turkey-EU relations, revealing
that EU integration studies has been rather poor at understanding
the global context within which Turkey-EU developments take place.
More surprising perhaps, EU integration studies has also struggled
to give sufficient weight to the potential of Turkey's domestic
politics to shape EU enlargement. The volume attempts to correct
these imbalances by offering both a global context and new
perspectives on the drivers of domestic politics. It represents a
shift from a narrow EU integration/enlargement agenda. Turkey's
position vis-a-vis the EU cannot be adequately captured by
simplistic notions of conditionality, harmonization, and an
uncritical interpretation of Europeanization. A more rounded view
of Turkey-EU relations is advanced based upon a broader context of
European and global transformations. The contributions, collected
here, offer an interpretation of Turkey-EU relations from a novel
perspective, utilize a new framework of theory, and draw upon
insights and perspectives from disciplines underrepresented in
mainstream study of Turkey-EU relations. This book was published as
a special issue of the Journal of Contemporary European Studies.
