Abstract

Dr Esra Çayhan is a Associate Professor at the Department of Political Science and International Relations at Marmara University, Istanbul. She is also the Director of Marmara University Research Centre for International Relations. "The quest for peace and prosperity has been the driving force of European integration. In fifty years we have come a long way towards these goals. We live in a Union where citizens and businesses can freely move and settle regardless of national borders. People from all walks of life benefit from the Single Market, Economic and Monetary Union and common policies fostering competitiveness and social inclusion.
