Der Autor diskutiert die Perspektiven für die EU-Mitgliedschaft der Türkei anhand eines Überblicks über Fortschritte und Probleme bei der Erfüllung der Kopenhagener Kriterien. Wenn die Türkei die politischen und wirtschaftlichen Reformen vollendet, ist es für die EU nahezu unmöglich, die Aufnahme der Türkei zu verweigern. Ein Fehlschlagen der Reformen bedeutete andererseits die endgültige Abkoppelung von Europa und das Zurückfallen in die Gruppe der Entwicklungsländer. (DÜI-Hns)

Since the beginning of liberal pluralist politics in 1950, Turkey has experienced three military coups in 1960, 1971, and 1980. Of these military incursions the ones in 1960 and 1980 were the most serious in scope. Each time the armed forces remained in power for a short time, 1960–1961 and 1980–1983, and completely revised the existing constitutional framework. These were unlike the 1971 intervention which did not result in a complete revision of the political system, but only in an amendment of the constitution to provide the state with more powers in dealing with domestic violence. In this respect, the 1960 coup marks the end of the First Republic. The subsequent period, 1961–1980 is the Second Republic.
