THE CHALLENGES AND PREJUDGEMENTS TURKEY HAS EXPRIENCED THROUGH ACCESSION PROCESS TO THE EUROPEAN UNION

Türkiye 1959 yılından beri Avrupa Birliğine tam üye olma mücadelesi vermektedir. Kuşkusuz, Türkiyenin AB ye tam üyelik hayalinin gerçekleşmesi, Türkiyenin Kopenhag Üyelik Kriterlerinin hayata geçirme yönünde göstereceği kararlılığa bağlı olduğu kadar, AB nin de önyargılarından sıyrılmasına bağlıdır. Bu makale, Türkiyenin elli yılı aşkın süredir Avrupa Birliğine tam üye olma mücadelesini, bu süreçte karşılaştığı temel zorluk ve önyargıları analiz etmektedir.

Türkiyenin Avrupa Birliğine Üyelik Sürecinde Karşılaştığı Zorluklar ve Önyargılar

Turkey has been struggling to become a full member to the European Union since the year 1959. Achieving Turkeys dream of full membership to the EU is interconnected to its determination in fulfilling the Copenhagen Political Criteria; however it is also undoubtedly contingent upon the EU freeing itself of its prejudice against Turkey. The foregoing essay dwells upon Turkeys strive to become a full member to the European Union for over fifty years, analyses the fundamental challenges and prejudgments it has experienced through this process.
