A FAILED NEGOTIATION?: A CLOSER LOOK ON THE EU-TURKEY DEAL OF 2016
Journal Title: Journal of International Relations and Political Science Studies - Year 2021, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The migration issue has always been on the bilateral agendas for Turkey and the European Union (EU) since the Helsinki Summit in 1999. After Turkey’s accession period started to the EU, with the harmonization and Europeanization process, Turkey adapted its migration and asylum policies by standardizing its regulations according to the EU. However, the relations between Turkey and the EU regarding the migration issue, deteriorated due to the Syrian refugee crisis and the uprisings in the Middle East, which led to massive migration flow to both Turkey and the EU. Significantly, in the summer of 2015, when irregular migration’s numbers reached almost a million, the EU decided to take action to control migration in external borders; thus, Turkey became an essential partner in governing migration. Ultimately, the EU-Turkey Deal in 2016 was signed in order to guarantee to govern and control migration. However, the process of implementation of this Deal was highly criticized on many levels regarding the bilateral relations and their impact on the refugee crisis. Therefore, this article first aims to explain the historical processes that led to the EU-Turkey Deal of 2016. While pointing out the Deal’s purpose and the process onwards, this article aims to evaluate the performance of the Deal by mainly focusing on its failures on many levels.
