Abstract

This paper is an attempt to analyze the impact of the external relations of Turkey upon its process of democratization. By considering main developments in Turkey’s democratic transition, the aim is to trace the influences of Turkish foreign policy choices on strengthening democracy in Turkey. In this context, this study argues that westernization had been a modernization project of Turkey with the strategic and economic concerns until the end of the Cold War. In the post-Cold War period, the political Europeanization project of Turkey has made significant contributions to the process of democratization since the Helsinki Summit of 1999. However, with the problematic relationship of Turkey-EU after the golden years (1999-2005) of rapprochement, Turkey went to a redefinition process of its orientation in modernization, democratization and foreign policy under the Justice and Development Party rule in the last decade.

Özet

Bu çalışma, Türkiye’nin dış ilişkilerinin demokratikleşme süreci üzerine olan etkilerini analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla, Türkiye’nin demokrasiye geçişindeki temel gelişmeleri hesaba katarak hangi dış politika tercihlerinin Türkiye’de demokrasinin güçlenmesine etki ettiğinin izini sürmektedir. Bu bağlamda, batılılaşmanın stratejik ve ekonomik kaygılarla Soğuk Savaş döneminin sonuna kadar süren Türkiye’nin modernleşme projesi olduğunu iddia etmektedir. Soğuk Savaş sonrası dönemde, 1999 Helsinki Zirvesi’nden beri de Türkiye’nin siyasal Avrupalılaşma projesi demokratikleşme sürecine önemli katkılarda bulunmuştur. Buna rağmen, yakınlaşmanın ‘altın yıllarından’ (1999-2005) sonraki sorunlu Türkiye-AB ilişkileriyle Türkiye, son on yıldır Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi yönetimi altında modernleşme, demokratikleşme ve dış politika eksenini yeniden tanımlandığı bir döneme girmiştir.
