“…What are the implications of my findings for further research on Europeanization and institutional change in VET systems? First, my article has clearly shown that the analysis of Europeanization should be embedded in a more general analysis of institutional change rather than subordinating institutional theory to the specific analysis of Europeanization (see in a similar vein Sarigil 2007, 39–57). In the analysis of Europeanization, theories of institutional change should determine the analytical baseline.…”

This article analyzes how the EU's vocational education and training (VET) policy is reflected in domestic reforms in Germany and Austria. It perceives Europeanization as a heuristic concept to disentangle a twofold process of institutional change: The first process, the “Europeanized” arena of change, concerns change initiated by the reactions of domestic actors to EU initiatives; the second process of change—the “domestic” arena of change—concerns the ongoing incremental endogenous change in domestic institutions beneath and independent from the Europeanized arena of institutional change. This procedure allows us to differentiate between two modes of Europeanization: In Germany, Europeanization occurs as reform policies and politics; in Austria, Europeanization occurs more as institutional change by default, hence without strategically enacted reform initiatives shaped by the EU and as domestic institutional change that occurs anyway. The article combines the case‐oriented method of difference with process tracing.

“…Indeed, motivated by the EU process, the generals did not use their veto power throughout the EU-led democratization process. 51 Although the military's pro-EU position certainly helped the reform process and TSK's retreat from politics, it does not seem to be the primary causal factor behind 96 Beken Saatc ioglu the AKP's civilianization initiatives. This is because the military's support for democratic, civilianizing reforms endured even after 2005 when the EU membership target lost credibility.…”

“…7 Reforms attributable to the process include, first and foremost, the abolition of the death penalty, and the right of citizens to publish in alternative dialects and languages, including Kurdish, which they traditionally used in daily life (Hale and Ö zbudun, 2010, p. 55-67). The EU accession process led to a changing balance in civil-military relations that is documented in amendments of the duties, functioning, and structure of the National Security Council, an increase in the civilian presence within it, and emphasis on the Council's consultative nature (Sarıgil, 2007). Finally, a new perspective has emerged on the democratic opening, which aims to solve the deep-seated Kurdish problem in addition to the improvement of country-wide human rights standards.…”

We argue in this paper that the Arab Spring has opened a window of opportunity not just to create stability and democracy in one of the most unstable regions of the world, but also for revitalizing Turkey-EU relations. In theory, Turkey-EU cooperation can make a decisive difference in determining the outcome of the triangular relationship between stability, development, and democratization in the Arab region. In normative terms, as an opportunity, it must be turned into an advantage. From a practical perspective, however, transforming the window of opportunity into policy output is linked to the policy leadership of the sides involved to undergo a paradigm shift in their approach to the region and toward one another. © 2013 Taylor & Francis
