| Title | Europeanization and its stumbling blocks:role of political conditionality in Turkey and Ukraine |
| Summary | This thesis argues that Turkey and Ukraine are important examples for further refinement of Europeanization theory. The research aims to fill in the literature gap between the external and domestic factors that play a crucial role in the process of Europeanization. The effects of Europeanization are analyzed through the EU key strategy – conditionality. Acknowledging the limits of the research, in both countries the ‘case-oriented’ comparative analysis is conducted in regard to specific issue-areas that fall under the EU main principles of democracy, human rights and the rule of law, in other words, political conditionality. The main finding of the research is that political conditionality has had different effects in the two countries due to the variation in the conditionality itself and significance of domestic factors. Overall, Europeanization beyond the EU external borders is a new field of research, which needs to be studied further. |
