This special issue delves into the complex challenges confronting the EU and itsmember states, offering a meticulous examination of Europe's future. Focusing onsecurity policies, regional relations, energy strategies, digital transformation, and thesocietal impacts of populism, particularly in the realms of social policies and genderequality, it explores potential future scenarios for the integration project. Themotivation behind this issue is twofold. Firstly, despite Türkiye’s pivotal role in theEU's strategic future, its direct involvement in discussions about Europe's prospectshas been notably absent. This oversight ignores Türkiye’s unique position as a crucialactor in the EU's future, regardless of its potential accession. Secondly, the interestin the EU and Europe within Turkish academia extends beyond the accession processand EU-Türkiye relations. European Studies, as an interdisciplinary field, has gainedmomentum, reflecting Türkiye’s long-standing engagement with the study of theWest's social and political aspects. This special issue aims to provide perspectivesfrom Türkiye on themes crucial to Europe's unfolding future, envisioning acooperative landscape that addresses critical challenges, with Türkiye as an integralpart.
