UNDERSTANDING PRIVILEGED PARTNERSHIP DISCOURSE ON THE BASIS OF TURKEY AND THE EUROPEAN UNION RELATION
Abstract
This study elaborates on the discourse of
“Privileged Partnership”, a concept which is frequently visited particularly in
the relations between Turkey and the European Union. The word privilege may be
defined as special rights and conditions not granted to everyone bearing positive
repercussions in its meaning. Although this term is considered have a positive
impact on the relations between Turkey and the EU, it is observed to cause a
negative impact on the contrary. In this context, the option of Privileged Partnership
brought to the agenda with the relations between Turkey and the EU will be
tackled along with all its details pertaining to both the relations of the EU
with third parties and Turkey. This study will explore the definition of the
concept Privileged Partnership via various examples. Followed by this
definition, this partnership model in the European Union and its legal basis
will be explained while investigating whether the European Union has
established such a relationship with a third country or not. In this regard,
the discourse of Privileged Partnership will specifically be analyzed in the
context of Turkey-EU relations, arguing that such a partnership between the two
parties will lead to negative model of Privileged Partnership for Turkey
