Interest Groups and EU-Turkey Relations: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Labor Unions and Employers’ Associations

Öz

This study delves into the perspectives of Turkish labor unions (TÜRK-İŞ, HAK-İŞ, DİSK) and employers' associations (DİSK, TİSK) about Turkey's EU accession. Employing Critical Discourse Analysis, it uncovers how these narratives mirror the intricate interplay of economic, political, and social elements in EU-Turkey relations. Analyzing speeches and documents, the research spots common and differing viewpoints. The findings reveal a universal desire for just EU integration, but with distinct emphases on sovereignty, economy, and social justice. This work sheds light on Turkey's unique position in EU affairs and the influence of various interest group narratives on international policy-making.
