European Studies in Turkey: Present State 2004 and Proposals a Re-Presentation Two Tears Later … With Some Regrets and Auspices
Öz
This paper attempts to analyse the findings of the 2004 report on the recent state
of European studies in Turkey as an area of increasing academic interest in various
Turkish universities and other public and private institutions. It outlines the process in
which the profile of EU studies has undergone changes in terms of both scholarly
publications and teaching activities from the early 1990s to the present, most notably in
the aftermath of the 1999 Helsinki European Council which declared Turkey's
candidacy. Its n ı ain argument is that even though the existing state of European studies
in Turkey at the time of writing up the report could be deemed adequate both in quality
and in quantity for a non-negotiating candidate country, the necessity of further
diversification and specialisation in this field of undergraduate and postgraduate
curricula has undeniably becoıne more apparent since the opening of accession talks
with Turkey. In view of this fact it concludes with a deeply critical overview of Turkey's
little progress towards implen ı enting the propositions of the report about how to
strengthen the European studies.
