Overall Educational Objective To learn the fundamentals of EU-Turkey relations, starting from the 1960s until the present time.
Course Description This course studies the relations between Turkey and the European Union from an analytical angle combining theory and empirics. Following a historical overview of the relations, it discusses the theoretical perspectives and debates on the parallel issues of EU enlargement, Europeanization and Turkey’s EU accession. The course subsequently evaluates the various empirical dimensions of Turkey-EU relations such as democracy and human rights, foreign policy, migration, economy, security, culture/identity and public opinion. It closes by evaluating the future progression of EU-Turkey relations in light of critical recent developments such as the EU’s refugee crisis, the rise of populism in Europe and Brexit.
