External differentiation : Turkey´s role in EU agencies
Decentralised EU agencies stand for solutions to European problems assisting in designing and implementing Europe´s future. An often neglected feature is the growing outreach of EU agencies towards third countries as a ´participatory form of external differentiation´. To showcase the dynamic and potential of EU agencies for accession countries this contribution focuses on Turkey´s role across EU agencies assessing its working arrangements with EU agencies (1999- 2021). We find that Turkey engages with 18 EU agencies in different forms, covering various policy areas and driven by different logics of action.
