Discourses on Trkiye in the European Parliament

This book analyses how Trkiye and Europe were discursively constructed through the representations of Trkiye in the European Parliament (EP) between 2007 and 2015. By providing an in-depth analysis of the discursive representations of Trkiye in the EP, the book discusses the European perception of Turkish identity and, in turn, reveals the different visions of Europe that these EP discourses relationally construct in Trkiyes de-Europeanization process, compared to its Europeanization process in the 1997-2007 term. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of Political Sociology, International Relations, Discourse Analysis, European Studies, Turkish Studies, and Identity Studies.
