Trials of Europeanization
This book examines the impact of improving EU-Turkey relations on Turkish political culture since Turkey became a candidate for EU membership in 1999. Turkish political culture valued submissiveness toward state authority and did not favor citizen participation. While a multi-party political system was introduced in Turkey in 1946, political liberalism was the missing part of Turkey's democratic consolidation.
This leads to an assessment of whether Turkish political culture has become more participant and This study evaluates the impact that Turkey's EU-motivated political reform had on civil society, state-society relations, the role of religion in politics and national identity.
