Abstract
In order to assess the impact of Europeanization on Turkey’s FP, we analyzed the country’s alignment to the Council of the European Union’s CFSP statements3. Most statements are open to an “alignment procedure” to acceding countries4, candidate countries and potential candidates, members of the European Economic Area (Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway), and even to some European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) partners. We looked at Turkey’s alignment, starting from 2000 when the country was included in the procedure (after being recognized as an official candidate and before the opening of accession negotiations) until 2014. The Turkish alignment with CFSP was examined diachronically and across different topics and was compared with that of other candidatesI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
