Abstract

This article aims to reflect upon the problematic relationships between Turkey and the European Union. The long lasting difficulties facing Turkey’s entrance in the European family have many explanations and the obstacles are situated on both sides. Whilst the European Community is basically concerned with Turkey’s religious and cultural difference, Turkey’s difficulties derive from the historical formation of its democracy, and of the relations between state and society.
