“…The loose epistemic community of analysts who write about Turkey is examined as an 'audience of normals' (Adler-Nissen, 2014) that constructs, strengthens, and challenges norms in international politics, which means that the analyses do not only describe and explain but, as shown in this book, also involve stigmatising (Zarakol, 2011), moralising, securitising, and 'personalising of essence' (Burke, 1969(Burke, [1950, 15). The book substantially increases knowledge about the analytical potential of the interpretative approach to study the formation of narratives in the field of international politics in general (see Dian, 2017) and in the case of Turkey in particular (Phillips, 2013). The book shows that the boundary between representations and the represented is much more blurred than usually suggested (Morozov & Rumelili, 2012).…”

“…It also negates the claims about British press’ tendency to ‘portray Turkey in connection with persistent exclusivist perceptions’, similar to the portrayals made by press in continental Europe ( Devran, 2007 ; Paksoy, 2013 ; Schneeberger, 2009 ). On the other hand, Phillips (2013) also claims that British press emphasizes European ‘values’ in the discussion of Turkish EU entry. It focuses on the necessity of preserving ‘secularism’ as a crucial requirement for EU accession ‘as a response to the rise of the Islamically-identified Justice and Development Party (AKP)’ (Ibid).…”

This research aims to offer a valid answer to the question of how Turks and Europeans perceived each other in cultural and identity terms throughout history. With this purpose, it makes a thorough analytical review of the extant scholarly literature on identity relations between Turkey and Europe. There is an evident lack of scholarly attention on the evolution of mutual representations comparatively in the long durée. Most scholarly works focus on specific periods of time and investigate either how Turks view Europe or visa-versa. This systematic review provides the basis for an evolutionary analysis of mutual identity representations between Turkey and Europe over more than a two-hundred-year period. The period under focus starts with the French Revolution (1789) triggering intensive identity debates between Ottomans and Europeans and lasts until mid-2010s when bilateral relations between Turkey and the European Union went into disarray. This long period has been divided into four shorter periods each starting and ending with a remarkable event in world politics or bilateral relations. The study examines each period in relation to four focal issues, namely, nationalism, civilization, status in international society, and state-citizen relations generating intensive identity discussions in both Turkey and Europe. The article first presents the key findings of the relevant literature on European representations of Turkey and on Turkish representations of Europe in the four historical periods. Then it scrutinizes the extant literature on each period with respect to the four focal issues. Overall, the study, through a comprehensive literature review, demonstrates the ways in which mutual identity representations in Turkey and Europe have been contested over a two-hundred-year period.

“…These immigrant nationalities were chosen since the historical and current intergroup relations between these nations and Britain are different. The relations between Turkey and Britain are mixed with a degree of tension both historically and presently (Phillips, 2013). For example, in the 2016 UK referendum to remain in or leave the European Union (EU), Turkey’s potential membership of the EU was used by the Leave campaign to contest that Britain needed to leave the EU to reduce the prospect of increased Turkish immigration.…”

The present study examined age-related differences in bystander reactions within the context of peer exclusion of national ingroup (British) and immigrant outgroup (Australian or Turkish) peers. The immigrant peers were from nations that varied in terms of their perceived intergroup status in Britain. Participants were British children ( n = 110, 8–11 years) and adolescents ( n = 193, 13–16 years) who were presented with one of three scenarios in which a British national, Australian immigrant, or Turkish immigrant peer was excluded by a British peer group. Participants indicated their bystander responses. Perceived similarity and bystander self-efficacy were examined as possible correlates of bystander reactions. Findings revealed that children were more likely to directly challenge the social exclusion when the excluded peer was British or Australian compared with when they were Turkish. In contrast, adolescents did not differentiate in their response—they were equally likely to directly challenge the exclusion regardless of the excluded peer’s nationality. Importantly, when the excluded peer was Turkish, moderated mediation analysis showed that, with age, there was higher bystander self-efficacy for challenging the exclusions. In turn, higher bystander self-efficacy was related to higher direct challenging. These novel findings demonstrate the importance of intergroup relations, perceived similarity, and bystander self-efficacy in the emergence of age-related differences in bystander reactions to the exclusion of immigrant peers.
