The arguments about full membership in the EU has become a priority for Turkey in the last decade, because Turkey’s joining the EU will have a strong impact on Turkey’s and the EU’s macroeconomic structure. In order to analyze the impacts of Turkish accession into the EU, a computable general equilibrium model has been developed and the results of various policy scenarios have been compared. The model considers the imperfect competition in the Turkish manufacturing sector. Simulation results showed that full membership appears to be the most beneficial scenario for the Turkish economy based on several macroeconomic variables.

Macroeconomic Implications of the European Integration on the Turkish Economy Bekmez, Selahattin; Kennedy, P. Lynn (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2001-1-01) The arguments about full membership in the EU has become a priority for Turkey in the last decade, because Turkey’s joining the EU will have a strong impact on Turkey’s and the EU’s macroeconomic structure. In order to analyze the impacts of Turkish accession into the EU, a computable general equilibrium model has been developed and the results of various policy scenarios have been compared.

Nationalism, transnationals and contested images of Turkey in Austria Strasser, Sabıne (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01) As 'Eurobarometer' surveys indicate, European populations are increasingly sceptical about further EU enlargement, especially as far as Turkey is concerned. Austria's rejection of negotiations with Turkey has been remarkable. While the Austrian government has been in line with European council resolutions, policy makers of different parties have reiterated their claim for alternatives to full membership for Turkey. Furthermore, opinion polls have shown that the Austrian population's refusal of Turkey is abo...
Europeanization and Turkey‟s regional policy : 1999-2015 Tanrısever, Nazlı Hezar; Kahraman, Sevilay; Department of European Studies (2015) This thesis seeks to explore the role of the Europeanization process in Turkey’s regional policy since the Helsinki Summit of the European Union (EU) in 1999 when Turkey was accepted as a candidate country for the membership in the EU. Contrary to the views of some experts who claim that the Europeanization process involves a comprehensive transformation of the institutions and policies of the candidate countries in line with the expectations of the EU, Turkey’s regional policy between 1999 and 2015 demonst...
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...
Civil society in Turkey and local dimensions of Europeanization Ergun Özbolat, Ayça (2010-01-01) Since the Helsinki Summit of 1999 when Turkey's candidacy for membership was accepted, the EU has exercised considerable transformative power over the development of Turkey's civil society. This article examines Turkish civil society both as an agent of the 'internationalization' of domestic social agendas and as a reflection of more general Turkish perceptions of the EU and Turkey's prospective membership. The first part of the article offers an analytical account of Turkish civil society development in or...
