“…Indeed, Turkey obtained the status of an EEC associated member in 1963 and it was envisaged that Turkish migrants would be granted the same status as EEC workers by the end of 1986 at the latest (Comte, 2015, p. 114). However, negotiations over Turkey's membership of the EEC became complex and stalled (Arikan, 2003). In 1981, the EEC accepted West Germany's request to postpone concluding an agreement with Turkey.…”

The extensive Yugoslav economic migration and presence of Yugoslav ethnic minorities in Western Europe, as well as the interaction of this migration with the Yugoslav crisis of the 1980s, remain under-researched. This article sets out to offer a modest contribution on this neglected topic. It argues that short-distance transnational communities and short-term migration were already at the centre of grievances articulated on ethno-nationalist grounds in the early 1980s. It links these grievances to the different impact of the two oil shocks and the process of European integration on each Yugoslav republic, differences which contributed to the crisis of federal unity.

Izvorni znanstveni rad Primljeno: 3. 6. 2018. Europa izvan Europske unije? Nove dileme pri definiranju europskog identiteta Dejan JOVIĆ Odsjek za međunarodne odnose i sigurnosne studije Fakulteta političkih znanosti Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, Hrvatska dejan.jovic@fpzg.hr Odlukom Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva da napusti Europsku uniju, kao i usporavanjem procesa proširenja Europske unije na zemlje Zapadnog Balkana i Tursku, pojavila se nova fraza u europskom političkom rječniku: Europa izvan Europske unije. Ta fraza, koju promoviraju tvorci britanske vanjske politike, vraća na dnevni red raspravu o europskom identitetu. U ovom članku analiziraju se kompleksni i različiti odgovori na pitanja kao što su tko je, što je, kad je i gdje je Europa, gdje je njezina granica i tko su Drugi u odnosu na nju. Pitanju identiteta Europe pristupa se iz konstruktivističke perspektive, kroz analizu definiranja Sebstva i Drugosti. Iako je Europa nakon Hladnog rata proklamirala kao svoj cilj ujedinjenje i emancipaciju od Drugih, ona je ostala vezana uz Sjedinjene Američke Države kroz koncept euroatlantizma, a u nekim aspektima i uz Rusiju kroz ideju o Euroaziji. U suvremenim okolnostima Europska je unija sve udaljenija od ideala o jednoj i ujedinjenoj Europi. Umjesto toga, ona više liči na lȕk, sa svojim jezgrom, unutarnjom i izvanjskoj periferijom, kao i s vanjskim akterima koji su polupovezani s Europom zbog povijesnih i strateških razloga. Zbog toga se postavlja pitanje je li Europu uopće moguće definirati kao cjelinu u odnosu na njezine susjede i na druge zainteresirane aktere (Rusiju, SAD i Tursku) ili je njezin identitet određen upravo nemogućnošću takvoga jednoznačnog definiranja. UvodU svojoj postreferendumskoj fazi, koja se najčešće naziva breksitskom bez prejudiciranja konačnog ishoda samog procesa najavljenog izlaska Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva (UK) iz članstva u Europskoj uniji (EU), koji u trenutku objavljivanja ovog članka još nije do kraja izvjestan, britanska vanjska politika inzistira na tome da Velika Britanija ostaje u Europi iako izlazi iz Europske unije. Britanska premijerka Theresa May više je puta ponovila da njezina zemlja, iako izlazi iz EU-a, ostaje angažirana u drugim europskim or-

Moreover, Bogdani (2011), Lake 2005, Carkoglu & Rubin (2003), Arikan (2006) and Joseph (2006) examine in depth Turkey's geographic and political conflict with Greece and Cyprus. They all agree that this is the leading challenge that Turkey needs to settle as a precondition to join the EU.…”

“…With Greece as a current EU member, it has sought to use the accession talks to force resolution of the problem to its benefit. Therefore, it was difficult for the EU to pursue a balanced policy in relation to the Cyprus issue, as Greece play a role in its decision-making process of the EU (Arikan 2006).…”

Turkey's accession to the European Union. (c2012)

The accession process of Turkey into the European Union has been a long and drawn out process. Ever since Turkey and the EEC signed an agreement, Turkey was lead to believe that it will be granted membership into the European Union. While there are obvious religious and cultural differences, Turkey had made large strides with regards to becoming more in line with the European Union's ideology and standards. Turkey has suffered from the fact that there are so-called "brakemen" states, which still have been acting as a hindrance with regards to the smooth flow of the process. These states have objections to Turkish accession due to issues that they claim should be resolved before Turkey is allowed to join the European Union. Furthermore, they note that there are serious economic, geopolitical and cultural aspects that need to be looked at in order for Turkey to be able to fully integrate into the Union. This being said, the European Union has made a public commitment to allow Turkey into the Union based on the founding principles of the Union and the fact that the Union has characterized Turkey as being "European". If the Union is to hold back on the promises that it has made to Turkey, it runs the risk of losing credibility among the international community. This paper aims to understand the problems and hindrances that have plagued Turkey's accession and to analyze them within a framework. Given that there has been much research done on the topic, this paper aims to add its own new contribution through its analysis of the various issues affecting accession as well as analysing the structural and intergovernmental problems within the EU that have also impacted its stance towards Turkey.
