Illiberal challenges to the European Union’s legitimacy from within and without: The rule of law and refugee crises
This study revisits the academic debate on rising populism and illiberalism in Europe that reduces the EU’s crises to those involving ‘liberal EU’ and ‘illiberal regimes’ without necessarily differentiating between these regimes. Applying Suchman’s multidimensional account of legitimacy to the EU, it unpacks the varying domestic contestations of two illiberal regimes against the different components of EU legitimacy within the context of two rece…
The EU’s response to the Syrian refugee crisis: A battleground among many Europes
This article examines the European Union (EU)’s response to the 2015–2016 refugee crisis. Departing from the understanding that Europe is a contested phenomenon, it investigates how different – Thick, Thin, Parochial and Global – Europes influenced the EU’s management of the crisis culminating in the March 2016 EU-Turkey ‘refugee deal’. Two findings are advanced. First, European actors reacted differently to the EU’s initially attempted Thick Eur…
The European Union’s refugee crisis and rising functionalism in EU-Turkey relations
This article investigates the evolving relationship between the European Union (EU) and Turkey following the 2015 refugee crisis. It argues that post-crisis relations have become predominantly functional, measured by strategic EU-Turkey partnership based on interdependence as well as the EU’s relative retreat from political membership conditionality. This is particularly demonstrated by the March 2016 EU-Turkey ‘refugee deal’ whereby functional c…
De-Europeanisation in Turkey: The Case of the Rule of Law
This article investigates the political dynamics shaping the post-2010 ‘de-Europeanisation’ of Turkey’s judicial system, particularly regarding judicial independence and rule of law. The analysis suggests the limits of conventional Europeanisation accounts emphasising causal factors such as European Union (EU) conditionality and the ‘lock-in effects’ of liberal reforms due to the benefits of EU accession. The article argues that the Justice and D…
Democracy, identity, and foreign policy in Turkey: Hegemony through transformation
book was more comparative, or merely that the title of the book was more indicative of the book’s British focus; thus the book would be more self-explanatory. However, my favorable impression of the book is that, while it primarily appeals to politics and IR instructors in the UK, who themselves use either the traditional or creative approaches to teaching politics and IR, its rich innovative approach will remain a long-standing success as a refe…
AKP's ‘Europeanization’ in Civilianization, Rule of Law and Fundamental Freedoms: The Primacy of Domestic Politics
The literature on European Union (EU)–Turkey relations has mostly focused on explaining the general slowdown in the Justice and Development Party (AKP)'s post-2005 Europeanization rather than analysing the more puzzling question of why some reforms persisted as opposed to others despite the falling credibility of EU membership in the same period. To fill this gap, the paper studies the AKP's differential ‘Europeanization’ concerning civilianizati…

How Closely Does the European Union’s Membership Conditionality Reflect the Copenhagen Criteria? Insights from Turkey
Research on the EU’s membership conditionality focuses more on conditionality’s domestic impacts than on conditionality itself. The question of how consistently the EU seeks the Copenhagen criteria prior to offering membership is rarely investigated. To fill this gap, this article studies conditionality regarding Turkey, arguing that true conditionality should exclusively link EU demands for compliance with the formal membership criteria to rewar…
