“…As a result, the Turkish population abroad increased from 600,000 in 1972 to 3,800,000 million in 2004 [22]. Moreover, studies have predicted a continuing flow www.elsevier.com/locate/forsciint Forensic Science International 165 (2007) [46][47][48][49][50][51] of between 1.3 and 2.7 million migrants from Turkey to various countries, especially those within the EU, up until 2030 [23,24]. Despite the high number of Turks living abroad, little is known about third-molar development of the Turkish population that would have forensic application in aiding in the determination of maturity parameter variations applicable to this population.…”

“…Funneling large amounts of money to Turkey to facilitate its economic development and allowing the Turkish labor to move freely in the European labor market have long troubled the Europeans. 8 Europe has also not been shy to point to Turkey' geographic location as a source of concern. 9 Admitting Turkey as a member in effect means extending the borders of Europe to the Middle East, thereby bringing the problems of this volatile region to the heart of the continent.…”

It’s the Economy, not European Identity: The Effect of European Identity and Economic Considerations on Public Support for EU Membership in Turkey and Central and Eastern European Countries

Turkey has long been characterized as "too big, too poor, too Muslim" to be a European country. This assertion permeated the political debates regarding Turkey's accession to the Union in the early 2000s, leading to a Turkey versus the rest dichotomy: Other candidate countries are European, Turkey is not. A central dimension of this dichotomy was the juxtaposition of public attitudes toward EU membership in Turkey and Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs). A frequently evoked claim during the fifth enlargement of the Union was that the Turkish public supports EU membership due to its expected economic benefits while citizens in CEECs desire membership because they identify as European. In this article, I show that this claim was empirically false. Using data from the Eurobarometer survey for candidate countries, I statistically demonstrate that both Turks and citizens of CEECs supported EU membership for economic reasons. European identity played a negligible role in shaping mass support for EU membership in Turkey and other candidate countries alike. This study makes a central contribution to the existing literature by analyzing the relative impact of European identity and economic considerations on public support for EU membership in Turkey and CEECs. The results fill an important void in the existing scholarship and contribute to ongoing political debates on Turkey's EU membership.

“…Many researchers analyzed EU-Turkish trade relations (see for example Völker, 1976;Marguiles, 1996;Sayek and Selover, 2002;Derviş, Gros, Öztrak, and Işık, 2004;Ulgen and Zahariadis, 2004) as well as possible consequences of Turkey joining the EC or/and the EU (see for example Lejour, de Mooij, and Capel, 2004;Flam, 2004;Quaisser and Wood, 2004;Lammers, 2006) and concluded that Turkish membership in the EU might clearly generate benefi ts for Turkey from entering the Common Market as well as bring about narrowing income differences and improving economic and trade relations. However, the most fundamental question in the debate about Turkish EU membership is the issue of Turkish migrations to the European Union and their side effects.…”

Abstract:This paper analyzes possible incidence of Turkish EU accession on the emigration from Turkey to the European Union. Panel data estimators are applied on the emigration data from EU-18 into Germany in order to construct possible future scenarios of Turkish migration to the EU. Eventual migration fl ows from Turkey into the EU are forecasted based on the estimated results. We fi nd that seemingly unrelated regressor is the most effi cient estimator that can be applied in Turkey-EU migration framework. Our results reveal that both the network effect and target country labour market conditions represent the strongest determinants for migration, whilst the effect of per capita income is actually relatively low. In particular, Turkish per capita income does not have nearly any effect on migration, because it enters the model in two variables that work against each other. Furthermore, a very low importance of opening the German labour market for Turkish migrants is found. Estimated coeffi cients are used to predict migrations to Germany, and through appropriate extrapolations to the whole European Union (EU). Three scenarios of migration are created and the sensitivity of estimated coeffi cients on migration from Turkey into the Germany during next 25 years is further discussed in detail.
