Alternative explanations. 330 $aThe issue of minority rights is highly contested in both member and candidate states of the European Union. Compared with other policy areas, the Europeanization process in minority rights is much slower and more problematic. Turkey, though, differs from the majority of the member states by showing positive development, although admittedly it is still characterised by both accelerations and slowdowns. This book examines how minority protection, as a highly sensitive and controversial issue, is promoted or constrained in the EU's neighbourhood, by focusing on the case of Turkey. It draws on current external Europeanization theories and suggests a rationalist model comprising both the role of the EU and also domestic factors. It integrates two models of external Europeanization provided by Schimmelfennig and Sedelmier (2005), i.e. the external incentives and lesson-drawing models, and the framework of the pull-and-push model of member state Europeanization by Borzel (2000), to derive a comprehensive model for external Europeanization. The book argues that the push by EU conditionality and the pull by domestic dissatisfaction are influential in promoting change. Without one or the other, domestic change remains incomplete, as it is either shallow or selective. Focusing on the Turkish case, the book enhances the theoretical understanding of external Europeanization by shifting focus away from EU conditionality to voluntarily driven change, and by providing a theoretical model that is applicable to other countries. It will therefore be a valuable resource for students and scholars studying minority rights and Turkish and European ethnic politics. 410 0$aRoutledge studies in Middle Eastern politics ;$v85. 606 $aMinorities$xLegal status, laws, etc$zTurkey 607 $aTurkey$xEthnic relations 607 $aEuropean Union countries$xEthnic relations 607 $aEuropean Union countries$xRelations$zTurkey 607 $aTurkey$xRelations$zEuropean Union countries 615 0$aMinorities$xLegal status, laws, etc. 676 $a323.1561 700 $aYilmaz$b Gozde.$0933926 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910163870303321 996 $aMinority rights in Turkey$92102610 997 $aUNINA
