"The
End of Europe?" What does Turkey's entry into European
Union mean
for Europe --- and the rest of the World?
One of Turkey’s longstanding goals
has been admission to the European Union (EU). To this
end, Turkey put into effect significant reforms in the
area of cultural rights of the minorities and in terms
of abolishing capital punishment. In addition, structural
changes in the economy continue to comply with EU guidelines
and standards. In the midst of these, the November 2002
elections gave the Justice and Development Party (AKP),
the so called “religious” party, a solid governing
majority in the Parliament.
These Panels interpreted recent political
developments in Turkey, focusing especially on the political,
economic, and cultural ramifications of Turkey’s
membership in the EU.

Atilla Yaprak, Wayne State University
