The accession of Turkey to the EU presents a fascinating case study for all those with an interest in europeanisation.

In three sections, the book covers the films of women directors, television shows featuring women in lead roles, and the representational struggles of women in cultural context, with a special focus on changes in the transformative power of narratives and images across genres and platforms.

Tunuslu seyyar satıcı Muhammed Buazizi, 17 Aralık 2010 tarihinde Sidi Bouzid valiliği önünde kendini ateşe verdi. Amacı kendisini hırpalayan ve meyvelerine el koyan zabıtaları protesto etmekti. Ancak Buazizi’nin kendi bedeninde yaktığı ateş kısa sürede büyüdü ve önce ülkesini, sonra bütün Arap coğrafyasını kaplayacak kitlesel bir harekete dönüştü. Ayaklanmalar çok hızlı ve sert bir şekilde yayıldı. “Tunus’tan Han Yunus’a kadar” bölge halkları haksızlığa, yoksulluğa, demokratik olmayan şartlara ve yaşadıkları düzene karşı ayaklandılar. Yıkılmaz denilen diktatörleri devirip, rejimleri alaşağı ettiler. Kısa sürede çığ gibi ...
Turkey’s candidacy for membership of the European Union has had mixed effects on its public policies. The initial degree of cohesion between EU and Turkish national policies, practices and institutions has varied by the policy field in question, leading to a complex amalgam of fit and misfit between the two actors. Their interaction in different policy areas has had direct influence both on Turkey’s accession to the EU and its own national reform process. With accession negotiations stalled and Turkey’s relationship with the EU increasingly tenuous, it is vital to take stock of the extent to which Turkey and the EU are aligned in key policy areas. The Europeanization of Turkish Public ...
