Overview

This article interprets Türkiye's evolving assertive behaviour towards the EU, highlighting the conflict between presidentialism and Europeanisation in security policies.

Key Points

  • Turkey has transitioned to a competitive authoritarian framework, impacting its diplomatic relations with the EU.
  • The AKP's shift in foreign policy resulted in fluctuating security policies towards European integration, particularly after 2016.
  • The interplay between Turkish presidentialism and nationalism has created a complex relationship with the EU.
  • Despite assertiveness, Turkey's foreign policy has not always aligned with overt antagonism against European institutions.
