Minority Rights in Turkey

This book examines how minority protection, as a highly sensitive and controversial issue, is promoted or constrained in EU’s neighbourhood by focusing on the case of Turkey. It offers a comprehensive and detailed scholarly examination of external Europeanization theories, minority rights in Europe and Turkey, the Europeanization of Turkey, and Turkish politics. Presenting a new and innovative theoretical approach that links European and domestic dynamics, the book demonstrates that policy change in Turkey’s minority rights,¿as well as domestic change in accession countries in general,¿depends on an interactive impact of the EU and domestic drivers.
