Opis

This volume develops the notion of ‘de-Europeanisation’ as an important development in the literature on Europeanisation, and applies it specifically to Turkey. ‘De-Europeanisation’ is defined as the loss or weakening of the EU/Europe as a normative/political context and as a reference point in domestic settings and national public debates of both candidate and member countries. The authors explore key policy areas including education, migration, democracy, the rule of law and media freedoms, and key actors including civil society organisations, political parties and political leaders. This book was originally published as a special issue of South European Society and Politics.
