What has been achieved regarding Turkey's efforts at integration to
the EU and what obstacles remain to it achieving full membership?
Like other developing countries, Turkey displays visible signs of
advancement with rapid increases in living standards, greater
mobility and the rapid spread of technology. Much of its
legislation and political, economic and administrative systems are
also now aligned to the EU and this process has undoubtedly
contributed to democratization and modernization. At the same time
problems in politics and society persist; the Gezi protests,
limitations of freedom of expression, frequent occupational
accidents in the mining and construction sectors, honour killings
and political upheaval which has manifested itself most starkly
with the recent coup attempt all call attention to the challenges
facing a country in the process of change. Charting the political,
legal and economic relations between Turkey and the European Union
since 1959 this book explores the relationship through phases such
as association, customs union and candidacy. Each chapter covers a
particular period in the relations and/or a theme which has both
current and overall relevance to the conduct of the relations. In
this way, the authors examine the impact of the EU in affecting
change, what has been achieved and the obstacles that remain.
