“…In protest, the Turkish government went as far as breaking off political dialogue with the EU and refusing to attend any of the meetings it was invited to. As a result of Turkey's exclusion from the list, the Turkish government feared that the EU wanted to develop a 'special' relationship with Turkey falling short of membership (Buzan and Diez 1999;Mü ftü ler-Bac 1998).…”

“…This aim has been strongly held especially by the Turkish intelligentsia and bureaucracy. 1 The agreement envisaged the possibility of eventual Turkish membership of the EC as well as the gradual completion of a customs union (CU) between Turkey and the EC.

Synopsis -To the foreign observer, Turkish women constitute an anomaly amongst Muslim societies.Since the creation of the Turkish Republic in 1923, Turkey has engaged in a project of modernization and secularization. As part and parcel of this process of modernization, Turkish women have been granted social, political, and legal rights. Despite Kemalist reforms of the 1920s, the basics of male domination stayed intact. It is this paradoxical character of Kemalist reforms that this article emphasises. The legal equality granted to Turkish women did not succeed in their emancipation. The image of Turkey as the only modern, secular, democratic country in the Islamic Middle East has been an effective distortion, concealing many truths about Turkey. The author proposes that the Mediterranean culture, the Islamist traditions, and the Kemalist ideology act together in perpetuating the oppression of women in Turkey and keep patriarchy intact.
