Turkey and EU Integration

What has been achieved regarding Turkeys efforts at integration into 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 effecting change, what has been achieved and the obstacles that remain.

This book aims to provide a comprehensive picture of Turkey and European Union (EU) relations dating back to Turkeys application for an association to the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1959. Each of the chapters dwells on a particular period in the relations and/or a theme which has both current and overall influence on the conduct of the relations. In this way, progress of relations since the first application for association until today is analysed with a view to understanding the underlying factors shaping the process of Turkeys gradual integration to the EU.
