Türkei - Schlüsselakteur für die EU?

This volume, which is based on an international and interdisciplinary conference that took place in May 2017, assesses the state of and prospects for Turkish-European relations from the perspective of both actors. Besides addressing the process of Turkey’s accession to the EU and domestic developments in Turkey after the attempted coup of July 2016, the book examines the refugee agreement between Turkey and the EU, Ankara’s cooperation with the European Union and NATO as well as German-Turkish relations as defining aspects of the two bodies’ current relationship. Furthermore, it presents an analysis of Turkey’s policy on security challenges in the region, like the Kurdish question and the conflict in Syria. The volume incorporates the views of German experts on Turkey, authors that have lived in the country for a long time as well as Turkish authors, and thereby offers a comprehensive analysis of current relations between Turkey and the EU. With contributions by Mustafa Nail Alkan, Hüseyin Bağcı, Serdar Erdurmaz, Kristina Dohrn, Colin Dürkop, Marcus Engler, M. Murat Erdoğan, Gülistan Gürbey, Magdalena Kirchner, Arndt Künnecke, Armin Staigis, Dirk Tröndle.
