BRIDGING THE REAL DIVIDE: SOCIAL AND REGIONAL POLICY IN TURKEY’S EU ACCESSION PROCESS

Edited by: Dimitris Tsarouhas, Ebru Ertugal, Ayşe İdil Aybars

Despite the transformative change in the nature of the relations between Turkey and the EU, important aspects of the EU’s body of law, the acquis communautaire, have so far received relatively less attention in the EU-Turkey accession process compared to issues such as human rights and democratic freedoms. This has been particularly the case regarding social policy and regional development.

This book makes a timely and necessary contribution to the debate by bringing together academics and policy-makers reflecting on EU-Turkey relations through the prism of social and regional policy. It is a much needed volume, in Turkey and abroad, that will change the way Turkey is debated and perceived.
