Tiivistelmä: | The European Union's (EU) negative opinion on Turkey's membership application in 1989 and its denial of candidate status at the 1997 Luxembourg European Council, created serious deadlocks in Turkey-EU relations. Thereafter, the Kosovo war and the post- earthquake Greek-Turkish rapprochement, opened new opportunities in Turkey-EU relations that materialized with the December 1999 decision to include Turkey as a full-fledged candidate to EU accession. The author states the questions: what the major shortcomings in Turkey's formally democratic system and market economy are, and what their causes are; what action should be taken by both Turkey and the Union to eliminate these problems and foster the current momentum in Turkey-EU relations. |
