Abstract
This article reviews the literature on state socialization in the context of Turkey’s European Union (EU) accession and the EU’s Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP). Rationalist and constructivist approaches are considered in order to examine Turkey’s past opposition to norms that characterize the EU’s CFSP, the interest‐driven nature of its strategic culture, its foreign policy and the particular challenges of its EU accession process. In presenting the arguments that Turkey has been putting forth to avoid full socialization, it is concluded that prospects for Turkey’s socialization are grim due to the regulatory nature of this pillar.
