Enlargement to Turkey is arguably the greatest challenge facing the
European Union today. After the narrowly averted "train crash" over
Cyprus in 2006, the second election victory of the Justice and
Development Party in July 2007 opened new prospects for Turkish-EU
relations. But in an EU emphasising a collective identity based on
shared civilisational values, Turkey's European credentials have
been increasingly called into question. Amending national identity
through political change has become the key to the success or
failure of the Turkish integration project. This volume examines
the EU role in strengthening the domestic pro-reform coalition
within Turkey, the paradox - and potential limits - of Turkey's
europeanising Islamists, and the impact of Europeanisation through
conditionality, including a case study of Turkish policy towards
the Cyprus Question. Also addressed are the Western stereotypes of
Turkish identity influencing the country's EU prospects, notably
concerning the role of Islam in precipitating acts of political
violence and its association with sexual and political violence in
the discourse of European opponents of Turkish accession. Finally,
the dynamics of EU accession negotiations are analysed and the
potential role of a norm-driven rhetorical strategy in promoting
Turkish accession as a moral and democratic imperative is
discussed.
