This course introduces students to the fundamentals of over half a century-old relationship going back to the basic legal documents of the association between Turkey and European Economic Community. The analyses on the associate status, its legal bases and its institutions are followed by analyses on Turkey?s full membership application in 1987, its candidacy status, reaffirmed by the 1999 Helsinki European Council and the membership negotiations between Turkey and the EU, which began effectively in 2005. The focus of the course is the recent relationship between the parties, which took a different course after the Helsinki Summit in 1999. (EUR 3411)
