TURKEY AND EUROPEAN UNION. REALITIES AND PERSPECTIVES

Summary/Abstract: This paper approaches the process of enlargement of the European Union (EU), a process that represent an important part in the history of the European space, bringing into attention the accession of Turkey, a strategic country between Europe and Asia. The accession of Turkey remains, however, an important issue in the process of enlargement of EU and, in the same time, due to the its size and its economic and social specificities, the costs of enlargement could be very high. The accession of Turkey, a country with 97% of the territory in Asia, and with 67 millions of Muslim inhabitants, mainly agrarian, has become increasingly difficult. In order to achieve our goal, we use the historical perspective, the comparative analyses and the case study.
