A majority of voters in the EU, and many politicians, oppose Turkish accession. The essays in this pamphlet examine the fears concerning Turkey's membership and argue that many of them are misplaced. The authors consider the geo-strategic and economic consequences of Turkey joining the EU. They explain the accession process and advise the Turks on how to conduct the negotiations. And they suggest ways in which European politicians could convince voters that Turkey is, potentially, an asset rather than a burden for the EU. Katinka Barysch is chief economist at the Centre for European Reform. Steven Everts and Heather Grabbe used to work at the CER and now work, respectively, for EU High Representative Javier Solana and European Commissioner Olli Rehn. |
