Turkey's year-old membership to the World Trade Organization (WTO) has been accompanied by the formation of a Custom's Union (CU) with the European Union (EU). As with the WTO's Agreement on Agriculture (AoA), the CU is an important step in trade liberalization although it does not cover agricultural products. On the other hand, the application of agricultural policies compatible with the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is a precondition for Turkey's full membership with the European Union. Turkey's prospects to "satisfy her obligations under AoA" and "to facilitate eventual membership" are not independent of one another. Their link is the European Union's adjustment to the WTO's AoA. Turkey and the European Union will develop their foreign trade and agricultural policies in the same, more liberal direction because of the AoA.

The influence of orientalism on European Union - Turkey relations Becan, Petek; Yurdusev, Ahmet Nuri; Department of European Studies (2007) This thesis analyzes the influence of Orientalism on Turkey’s relations with the European Union (EU) since Turkey’s application for full membership. EU-Turkey relations are elaborated in the context of how Europe constitutes its relations with Turkey as an oriental ‘other’. Thus arguments on the role of the other in identification process, self/other conceptualization and Orientalism as an othering mechanism of the west are presented to provide a theoretical framework. The question of how Turkish-European a...

In this thesis, the Turkish mining regulations a...
