Abstract
The purpose of this article is to study the process of the Europeanization of Turkey, amid the European crisis. The introduction is creating a framework for the research. The paper is studying Turkey’s negotiations with the EU, respectively the main negotiating chapters related to economy and law, following the progress made in the Turkish state regarding the potential accession to the European Union (according to the annual reports of the European Commission). Documents presenting official views are used to study international elements, such as the history of negotiations. The objectives of the article are: to present the history of the negotiations between Turkey and the European Union, to show the current state of these negotiations (for this part, the paper focuses on the European negotiations dealing with the mediation between the EU and non-EU states that want to integrate), to evaluate. The literature review is related to the significance of the paper explained in the previous work (about candidate countries’ negotiations with the EU, in the waves of enlargement starting 1973). Also, the Occidental opinions of leaders about the integration of Turkey may influence decisions according to this subject. Currently, Turkey has made efforts to get closer to Europe but does not meet all the conditions for the membership of the European Union yet, so that all the negotiation chapters to be closed. To resolve this problem, the EU works towards revealing the mandatory requirements related to the accession process, while the candidate country is striving to meet its membership conditions by creating the necessary institutions during the process. About the methodology, I will start with the theoretical part (from special sources). There are official documents for studying international elements. In this article, I am analyzing some of the negotiation chapters from the European Commission reports on Turkey from 2017. I am transforming the content into position documents. They will have the following structure after the analysis: introduction (presentation of the issue, the circumstances), points of agreement; points of disagreement and conclusions. In this way of analysis, personal contribution is highlighted. Regarding the results and discussions, looking at the report published by the European Commission, the study is able to show whether or not the preparations made by this state are generally advanced. By detailing the most relevant chapters of the negotiation, the areas will be highlighted in which there is no need to continue the process and the areas under development. As conclusions, generally, the final works can highlight the level of improvement for the detailed negotiation chapters, which contains concrete requirements related to policy implementations
