“…However, it is crucial to exercise caution as such positive outcomes often necessitate the cultivation of epistemic virtues and the eradication of unconscious biases, regardless of gender, amongst scholars. For instance, Türkeş‐Kılıç (2020), a female scholar, cited an equal number of AM and AF sources in our sample. In private correspondence, she revealed that she has been particularly attentive to this issue.…”

Starting from the ‘gender problem’ in European studies, we scrutinize the gendered knowledge production patterns in a least likely case to be gendered, EU–Turkey studies, due to the overrepresentation of women in the field and its feminine image. We utilize feminist standpoint theory and apply research synthesis and citation analysis techniques to two original datasets comprising 300 articles in 26 Social Science Citation Index (SSCI) journals, published from 1996 to 2020 and involving 8494 citations. Our findings reveal that male‐dominated knowledge marks even EU–Turkey studies with men outnumbering women in authorships and an extremely limited number of articles focusing on gender, whilst ampler disparities transpire in first authorships and citations. Whilst women have progressively disrupted male‐dominated knowledge by surpassing male authorship numbers since 2014, engaging in greater theoretical sophistication and having a greater inclination to cite women, limited incorporation of women's standpoint hinders the field's potential to address gender inequalities and promote gender‐sensitive policies and development.

“…Selin Türkeş-Kılıç also analyzed European Parliament debates (2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012) on Turkey, but from a Habermasian perspective focusing on justifications that the parliamentarians used in arguing for or against privileged partnership with Turkey. She found that the members of right-wing political party groups who supported 'privileged partnership' rather than full membership for Turkey discursively constructed an essentialist European identity that excluded Turkey (Türkeş-Kılıç, 2020). Aydın-Düzgit (2012) employed CDA to analyze EU elite discourses on Turkey in EU institutions and selected member states (France, Germany, and Britain).…”

“…In line with this goal, they have studied cultural and identity interactions between Europe and Turkey from 1789 to 2016 in four key periods in the EU-Turkey relationship (1789-1922, 1923-1945, 1946-1998, 1999-2016). Conceptualising identity as discursive and relational, they have shown how representations of the European and the Turkish Other varied and evolved through cultural exchanges and political interactions in different historical periods (Aydın-Düzgit et al, 2017, 2018, 2020.…”

This chapter provides a critical survey of constructivist approaches to EU–Turkey relations, which place significance on the role of norms, identities, discourse, ideas, and values in the relationship. It outlines the main contours of the constructivist school of thought in International Relations (IR) with a discussion of how the different variants of constructivism can be applied to the study of the case of EU–Turkey relations. It is followed by an illustrative survey of the academic contributions in the field of EU–Turkey relations that base their accounts on constructivist theoretical premises in three periods: 1997–1999, 2000–2010, and 2011–2020. The chapter concludes with a discussion of potential areas for further constructivist research on EU–Turkey relations.

“…Türkiye'nin üyelik başvurusu sonrası sürecinin uzunluğunun yanı sıra katılım müzakereleri de oldukça yavaş seyretmiştir. Türkiye bu süreçte üyelik için gerekli olan fasılların yalnızca bir tanesini geçici olarak kapatabilmiş, AB'ye üyeliği en çok tartışılan ve en çok şüphe duyulan tek aday ülkedir (Türkeş-Kılıç, 2019).…”

In March 2019, the European Parliament adopted a resolution for suspension of the accession negotiations of Turkey. Following the decision, European Parliament elections were held on May 23-26, 2019 in the European Union countries. In the post-election period, the two largest central groups in the European Parliament, the Christian Democrats and the Social Democrats lost votes, while the Liberals and the Greens became stronger. The far-right/populist parties gained significant power and formed their groups in the parliament. Relationship of Turkey which gained candidacy status in Helsinki Summit in 1999 with the European Union has been continuing in a negative atmosphereparticularly after the July 15 coup attempt. Some political groups in the European Parliament criticize Turkey claiming that it violates values like human rights, rule of law, democracy and international law with its drilling operations in the Eastern Mediterranean and they ask for terminating Turkey's accession negotiations some time in. This study discusses the changing arithmetic of political groups in the parliament after 2019 elections and these groups' attitudes, discourses and written statements as to political problems with Turkey. Due to the change in the political arithmetic of the parliament in the said legislative period, this study is thought to be distinguished from the existing studies in the literature. The study concludes that Turkey couldn't develop a strong dialogue with stakeholders in the European Parliament and couldn't present its arguments successfully. This study also presents certain policy recommendations.
