This thesis analyzes World Trade Organization Doha Round negotiation process and its implications for Turkey’s relations with its neighbors. The thesis mainly focuses on two pillars of negotiating package, namely agricultural and non-agricultural products (NAMA) negotiations. Both segments of negotiations have different dimensions due to Turkey’s regional and multilateral obligations. As a developing country, Turkey’s position in agriculture is more in line with other developing countries; in NAMA however it defends more liberal policies because of its Customs Union with the EU. Results of Doha Round will affect not only Turkey but also Turkey’s neighbors and these effects will be more dramatic in some of them. Chapter I is Introduction Chapter. Chapter II evaluates Doha Round in detail; Chapters III and IV examine agriculture and NAMA negotiations and their implications for Turkey. Chapter V evaluates other negotiation topics such as services, trade facilitation, environment and rules. Chapter VI analyzes Turkey’s Customs Union with the EU and its bilateral trade arrangements. The last Chapter is the Conclusion.
