| Title | Values and Norms in European Foreign Policy: The Promotion of Human Rights and Democracy in the Palestinian Territories and Turkey |
| Summary | This paper aims to demonstrate that the European Union (EU)’s value-based policies suffer from discrepancy in the Palestinian Territories and Turkey, due to the fact that, especially after the end of the Cold War, the security concerns have gained importance in foreign policy-making. In this study, therefore, I assert that the constructivist and realist theories, together, present a broader perspective, which allows us to grasp the international dynamics influencing human rights and democratization policies of Europe in the Mediterranean and the Middle East. To elaborate on this argument, the main emphasis will be put on the discursive analysis of the European documents, treaties, agreements and the leading actors’ speeches from the European institutions, and additionally the policy actions conducted by the EU, which happened to contradict with the professed values. |
