摘要:This study argues that Turkey’s inclusion into the EU is important for the EU’s security role. An essential reason behind the European Council decision to raise Turkey’s status to that of candidate country is the EU’s evolving security role. In other words, the estimates of the potential benefits of Turkey’s inclusion into the EU’s Common European Security and Defense Policy (CESDP) and the costs entailed by its exclusion essentially shape the EU’s policy towards Turkey.
