European Integration and the Transformation of Turkish Democracy. CEPS EU-Turkey Working Papers No. 2, 1 August 2004
Get PDFThis paper’s general argument is that the Copenhagen political criteria constitute the leverage that is making Turkish modernisation and democratisation more plural, multi-cultural and consolidated. In the first section, a historical overview of modern Turkey is undertaken from the perspective of political modernisation and democratic consolidation in order to assess Turkey’s ability to meet the requirements of the Copenhagen political criteria. The second section evaluates the impact of EU conditionality and the remaining problems and prospects in four major areas – the role of the military, human rights, protection of minorities and the judicial system. The paper concludes with the assessment that the dynamic process of change underway requires the continuation of efforts by Turkey to fully implement the Copenhagen political criteria and a credible policy of conditionality by the EU that respects the principle of fairness in relations between the two sides

How critical is critical international relations theory? Modernity versus postmodernity as a false antithesis
Get PDFThe overall aim of this paper is to deal with what has come to be known as "the
critical turn in international relations theory". In doing so, the paper points out
the relative merit and pitfalls of the discourses that constituted the critical turn,
namely those of critical theory and postmodernism. The paper concludes by
making a call for theoretical pluralism without foundations as a way of
constructing a dialogical interaction within international relations theory.Publisher's Versio
