EU-Turkish Relations in a Fast Changing Global Scene
EU-Turkish Relations in a Fast Changing Global Scene
Author(s): Eduard Soler i LechaSubject(s): Politics / Political Sciences

Summary/Abstract: The article explains the EU and Turkey’s adaptation to a changing global reality and to what extent fostering the integration of Turkey in the EU could be part of the adaptation strategies of both actors in such a new context. Taking note of recent international and domestic events, the article presents Turkey’s evolution as becoming more self-confident while an inward-looking EU risks being sidelined in global affairs. Taking this into account, the author argues that there is little chance to regain momentum in EU-Turkish relations in the short run despite both Turkey and the EU could benefit from it.
