This course attempts to provide a comprehensive analysis of Turkey-EU relatins, focusing on the political, economic, social and institutional aspects of the relationship. The aim of this course is to examine the long-lasting Turkey-EU relationship within the context of the dynamics of EU integration.

This recent period in the relationship will be analysed in more detail. The course plans to conclude by looking at the more recent relations between Turkey-EU after the start of the negotiation process. We plan to divide the course into different modules so that specialists on different dimensions of Turkey-EU relationship would have the opportunity to make their relevant contribution.
