Attitudes Towards Turkey's Europeanisation Process Among Attitudes towards Turkey’s Europeanisation Process among Turkish Immigrants in Europe MA Thesis in European Studies Identity and Integration Track Graduate School of Humanities University of Amsterdam Author: Şölen Aslan Student Number: 11310324 Main Supervisor: Dr. Claske Vos Second Supervisor: Dr. Marjet Brolsma July, 2017 Acknowledgements This study would not have been completed without the encouragement and guidance of many people. First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to my MA thesis supervisor Dr. Claske Vos for her unfailing guidance and insightful feedback through the process of writing this thesis. I would also like to sincerely thank my family for providing me with an immense support throughout my education. I foremost must thank the respondents who agreed to participate in my research as their contribution is indispensable to the purpose of this thesis. i ABSTRACT Turkey as a country in the circumference of Europe and with strong historical and cultural connections to the continent has made significant efforts to fulfil requested criteria through socio-economic and cultural convergence with the EU Member States. However, the process seems to be failing. Therefore, this study aims to present a different perspective to the reasons behind this failure and specifically focuses on the attitudes of Turkish immigrants who reside in Europe. The study begins with an introduction regarding the relevance of the subject. It then explores the essential framework for placing Turkey in relation to Europe, understanding the extent of the EU as a representative of Europeanness, the differences between Turkish and European identities as well as issues that potentially affect the process negatively. In the light of these matters, the study concludes with the analysis of the feedback from Turkish immigrants in Europe as a group often neglected whose opinions about Turkey’s integration to Europe bear significance in terms of being exposed to the values of both Turkish and European cultures. In general, the study aims to contribute to the academic discussion of Turkey’s troubled European integration process from the perspective of Turkish immigrants in Europe.

Current picture does not seem to be portraying any improvement. Turkey and Europe have been neighbouring each other for centuries and sharing history together. However, both parties are considered to represent different forms of civilisation even though Turkish soil has been land to European civilisation’s main pillars like the Roman Empire as well as Ottomans conquering and ruling over European land. The question of how two societies that are so close in distance and maintain relations on various levels can be considered wide apart in culture and civilisation is an interesting topic to be considered. Turkey and Europe represent quite contrary concepts therefore “clash of civilisations” has been a topic of discussion between Christian, democratic, modern, secular, developed Europe and Muslim, oriental, developing Turkey. Within this framework, if Europe is to be defined by civilisation of secular modernity then it can be argued that there is possibly no room for Turkey in Europe unless Turkey manages to undergo extreme Europeanisation in the cultural sense of the word. However, with the recent refugee crisis between Europe and Turkey followed by the Dutch- Turkish diplomatic crisis, Turkey’s enthusiasm to do so seems far gone while European states utterly claim negative opinions towards Turkey’s current situation. Based on current attitudes of authorities, one could imagine that the negotiations between Europe and Turkey should have a breakdown. However, as the significant other of Europe, Turkey raises questions regarding what European identity is and what are its limits. Similarly, Europe raises questions of how westernised and modern a society Turkey is and serves as an idealistic goal Turkey should strive for. Therefore, this discussion will continue to occupy minds of academics and diplomats. 1 Casanova, Jose. "Long, Difficult and Tortuous Journey of Turkey into Europe and the Dilemmas of European Civilization." Constellations 13, no. 2 (2006): 234. 1 Inspired by this discussion, the present thesis aims to answer the following research question: What is the stance of Turkish immigrants in Europe regarding Turkey’s troubled European integration process? In order to answer the above mentioned research question, the thesis is organised in six chapters including multiple subheadings. The first chapter introduces the motivations for the existing research topic then sets the stage by explaining the literature concerning Europeanisation and timeline of Turkey-Europe relations. The second chapter tries to answer the questions of identity where Europeanness versus Turkishness and effects of migration are elaborated. The following chapter aims to position Turkey in relation to Europe as well as investigating representativeness of the EU and prospects of Turkey’s EU membership. The forth chapter includes the obstacles that can be blamed for Turkey’s failure in Europeanisation process. The topics 4th chapter touches upon ranges from geography, demographic, economy, religion to democracy and negative public opinion. After building this knowledge foundation relevant to the topic, the next chapter analyses the finding of the questionnaire answered by Turkish immigrants in Europe. This chapter serves as the main chapter that directly answers the actual research question. Consequently, the thesis ends with the conclusions derived from the overall study. 1.1 Topic Choice Motivation In this section, the motivations behind focusing on the given topic will be explained. Political and social reasons that make this topic interesting will be demonstrated. In addition to that, similar studies will be pointed out in order to prove the originality of this specific topic in comparison to the others and its possible contributions to the field. Several decades had passed until Turkey finally gained access through Europe’s gate in Brussels in 2005. The European Commission has decided to start the accession negotiations with Turkey which would result in wide-ranging outcomes for the future of both parties. This process meant

  • Reflections on Bandista
    Turkey and Copyleft Music Production: Reflections on Bandista Ilkin Mehrabov Karlstad University, Sweden [email protected] Abstract This article focuses on copyleft music production in Turkey through a case study on Bandista, a music collective with strong oppositional stance formed in 2006 in Istanbul. Describing its musical performances as "situationist experiment of rage and rapture" Bandista became immensely popular in the Turkish political music scenery after releasing its debut album De te fabula narratur in 2009 under the copyleft scheme. The article tries to look at the copyleft with the notion of 'music as performance' in mind, and argues that copyleft politics are essential, especially for new music bands to form themselves as independent actors within the music scene. Keywords: Bandista, copyleft music, Turkey, performance, punk Introduction Bookshelves, academic journals, popular magazines and from its earliest emergence the Internet itself is filled with books, articles, papers and web-posts about the issue of copyright, and most of the time people involved within the discussion about the pros and cons of the matter are divided into two distinctive camps. Fierce copyright advocate Adam D. Moore defines these camps as "cyber-punks, hackers, and net surfers who claim that 'information wants to be free' and that intellectual property rights give undue credit to authors and inventors", and on the other hand, "collected cannons of Anglo-American copyright, patent, and trade secret law" (Moore 2001: 1). Notion of copyright and heated debates over it seems to point to one of the most pressing issues within the current global economic order: Culture Industry and its continuation as “business as usual'.

  • The Complex Dynamics Between German Citizens and Turkish Immigrants
    The Complex Dynamics between German Citizens and Turkish Immigrants Jesse Jones, West Texas A&M University abstract: This article examines the latest immigration trends into Western Europe, particularly the immigration of Turks to Ger- many. The origins of Turkish immigration and German immigration law are reviewed. Turkey’s bid for European Union membership is examined historically and opinions about how this potential European Union member has caused controversy and how Turkey could change the face of the European Union will be discussed. Attitudes of German citizens toward immigrants are examined using data from the European Values Survey (EVS). Tests show that religion and possibly education level play a role in determining the attitude of German citizens toward immigrants, the majority of whom are Turkish. Introduction1 Turkey in particular, but will also examine attitudes to- ward Turkey’s proposed ascension as a member state of Immigration has always raised concerns for sovereign the European Union itself.

In the Republic of Turkey, an early history text provided the definition of being a Turk as "any individual within the Republic of Turkey, whatever his faith who speaks Turkish, grows up with Turkish culture and adopts the Turkish ideal is a Turk." Today the word is primarily used for the inhabitants of Turkey, but may also refer to the members of sizeable Turkish-speaking populations of the former lands of the Ottoman Empire and large Turkish communities which been established in Europe (particularly in Germany, France, and the Netherlands), as well as North America, and Australia.

International Journal of Ethnosport and Traditional Games, №2 (2), 12–36. DOI: https://www.doi.org/10.34685/HI.2020.75.15.002 HISTORY AND ACTUAL IMAGE OF OIL WRESTLING Eugeniy Bakhrevskiy PhD in philology, ORCID: 0000-0003-1246-3398 Russian Heritage Institute, Deputy Director; E-mail: [email protected] RUSSIA Abstract Turkish “oil wrestling” (yağlı güreş) has a great popularity in Turkey, spread in some neighboring countries (Bulgaria, Macedonia, Albania), in Western Europe and Japan there are amateur clubs of this wrestling. That is complex system of accompanying rituals and attributes, it is based on ancient folklore tradition, and in modern conditions it became an important symbol of Turkish national consciousness. An Oil wrestling long enough became a subject of scientific interest; there is a series of books on its history and a lot of papers. At the same time caring publicists note that still we don’t have a satisfactory scientific description of oil wrestling, neither in Turkish nor in other languages. The article presents the results of a study of historical development of oil wrestling, listed in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Symbolic and ritual elements of nowadays oil wrestling and Kırkpınar festival (ağa, cazgır, peşrev, kıspet etc.) were analyzed. Kırkpınar festival came into being in the end of the 19th century, in the period of wrestlers’ tekke system decay, when the well-known masters from Edirne and Constantinople began to participate to the local festival on Hıdırellez, after that it became very popular even on national level.

  • The Relations of Turkey with the European Union
    Center for European Studies Working Paper Series #167 (2008) The Relations of Turkey with the European Union: Candidate Forever? by Bahri Yilmaz* Visiting Scholar, Center for European Studies at Harvard University EU Jean Monnet Professor and Professor in Economics, Sabanci University/Istanbul [email protected] Phone: (+90) 216 483 92 36 Abstract This paper primarily addresses three aspects of Turkish-EU relations: the first section of the study gives an overview of the history of Turkey’s relations with and the EEC/EC/ EU in the period between 1959 and 2008, focusing on “the Ankara Agreement” of 1964 (or the Association Agreement). With that agreement, which was supplemented and specified by an “Additional Protocol” in 1973, Turkey began what has become one of the longest-lasting association agreements. The second section will elaborate on the diffi–culties and serious disputes that have arisen between Turkey and the EU, and particu–larly on the current discussion of Turkey’s membership. Finally, in light of the remark–able political and economic changes taking place in the international and the European arena, we will draw some lessons from the past in order to make some predictions about the path Turkish-EU relations may follow in the future. Key words: Turkey, European Union. *The author would like to thank EU Jean Monnet Professor Geoffrey R.

  • Why Doesn't the United States Have a European-Style Welfare State?
    0332-04-Alesina 1/3/02 15:31 Page 187 ALBERTO ALESINA Harvard University EDWARD GLAESER Harvard University BRUCE SACERDOTE Dartmouth College Why Doesn’t the United States Have a European-Style Welfare State? EUROPEAN GOVERNMENTS REDISTRIBUTE income among their citizens on a much larger scale than does the U.S. government. European social pro- grams are more generous and reach a larger share of citizens. European tax systems are more progressive. European regulations designed to protect the poor are more intrusive. In this paper we try to understand why. The literature on the size of government is rich and varied. However, here we do not focus on the size of government as such, but rather on the redistributive side of government policies. Thus our goal is in one sense narrower than answering the question, “What explains the size of govern- ment?” since we focus on a single, but increasingly important, role of fis- cal policy. Yet in another sense our focus is broader, because redistributive policies go beyond the government budget—think, for instance, of labor market policies. We consider economic, political, and behavioral explanations for these differences between the United States and Europe. Economic explanations focus on the variance of income and the skewness of the income distribu- tion before taxes and transfers, the social costs of taxation, the volatility of income, and expected changes in income for the median voter. We con- clude that most of these theories cannot explain the observed differences. We are grateful to our discussants for very useful suggestions. We also thank William Easterly, Benjamin Friedman, Michael Mandler, Casey Mulligan, Roberto Perotti, Andrei Shleifer, Theda Skocpol, and a large number of conference participants for very useful com- ments.
