The European Union has been moving towards strategic autonomy for years, and this effort has recently been more obvious. The EU's most visible actions in "global actorness" are arguably crisis management missions/operations. As an EU candidate for accession and a NATO Ally for over half a century, Turkey has been involved in the shaping of the European security and defense identity and policy. Turkey and the EU have had ups-and-downs in the accession process, and these have reflections on Turkey's interaction with the European Union's Common Security and Defense Policy (CSDP). This study attempts to develop an understanding on the evolution of Turkey's synergy with CSDP by analyzing her participation/non-participation in EU crisis management missions/operations. In doing so, and by the conviction that this evolution requires more than a "one-size-fits-all" approach to understand, the study calls upon Europeanization and de-Europeanization arguments, Turkey's role in peacekeeping to support these arguments and institutional soft-balancing concept to offer alternative motivations.

Local Dimensions of a Wider European Neighbourhood:Developing Political Community through Practices and Discourses of Cross-Border Co-operation (EUDIMENSIONS) Ayata, Ayşe(2009-6-30) With the concept generally known as "Wider Europe", the European Union has mapped out an ambitious vision of regional "Neighbourhood" that "goes beyond co-operation to involve a significant measure of integration". Furthermore, the EU sees this new quality of regional interaction and partnership as bringing "enormous gains to all involved in terms of increased stability, security and well being". EUDIMENSIONS seeks to understand the implications of these emerging geopolitical contexts for cross-border co...
Cyprus in the British Security and Foreign Policy (1945-1974) Goktepe, Cihat; Ünlü Bilgiç, Tuba (2014-12-01) British policy towards Cyprus has strategic, political, economic, and even socio-psychological components. All these components have been shaped by conditions at the national, regional and international levels. Against this backdrop, Britain's Cyprus policy has displayed periodical changes in line with the former's foreign/security policy and defense doctrine. For a certain period, Cyprus had been deemed militarily and politically indispensable for England in order to maintain its 'Great Power' status in th...
Internal security and the new border management model of the EU: migration secutiy nexus Hajipouran Benam, Çiğdem; Dağı, İhsan Duran; Department of International Relations (2011) This is a thesis about the changing internal security conceptualizations and the new border management model of the European Union (EU), its effects on third countries and resultant power relations. Although migration is a fact as old as human history, the way the issue is represented varies in time. Especially after 1970s, with the influence of recession experienced in Europe, migration has been formulated as a tool that should be managed well, which otherwise would pose a serious problem for the host coun...
European integration: an assessment in terms of economic policies since the euro area crisis Cangir, Oğuzhan; Tunç, Gül İpek; Department of European Studies (2019) Since World War (WW) II, powerful steps in terms of enlargement and deepening have been taken forward to integrate Europe within the context of an organization called as the European Union (EU). Despite powerful steps, in recent years the EU has been facing challenging exams (constitutional crisis in 2005, the Euro Area (EA) crisis in 2009, refugee crisis, terrorist attacks etc.) which adversely affect the dynamism of integration, and consequently it is seen that there are some backward steps (Brexit and ot...
European Regions, EU External Borders and the Immediate Neighbours. Analysing Regional Development Options through Policies and Practices of Cross-Border Co-operation (EUBORDERREGIONS) Ayata, Ayşe(2015) EUBORDERRREGIONS will investigate the manifold consequences of increasing cross-border interaction for the development of regions at the EU’s external borders and, in this way, contribute to scientific and policy debate on the future of economic, social and territorial cohesion within the EU. Importantly, the project will contextualise development issues in selected EU “Borderlands” with regard to interaction between the EU and countries of the immediate “neighbourhood”. Within the context of these challeng...
