Ethem Ilbiz, Doctor and Marie Curie Senior Research Fellow, University of South Wales, UK and Christian Kaunert, Professor of International Security, DCU Conflict Institute, Dublin City University (DCU), Ireland and Professor of Policing and Security, International Centre for Policing and Security, University of South Wales, UK<i>'In EU, Turkey and Counter-Terrorism, Ethem Ilbiz and Christian Kaunert offer an original theoretical and empirical account of the EU's norm diffusion role in the transformation of Turkey's counterterrorism policies. While primarily focusing on formal rule adoption and the PKK and ISIL, the authors go beyond the familiar post-9/11 narratives to untangle the EU impact on the counterterrorism policies in a key membership candidate country. As such, the volume offers innovative insights on both the EU's normative power and the EU’s international security actorness.'</i>

<i>‘To sum up, the book provides a critical theoretical and historical framework to understand the EU’s norm diffusion role in the counter-terror domain, with the subject only limited to Türkiye and its policies toward the PKK and ISIS.’</i>

The book analyses the EU's normative role in Turkey during four distinct periods: the inertia (1984-1999), the conditional transformation (1999-2004), the social transformation (2004-2015), and the backsliding periods (2015-2020). Ethem Ilbiz and Christian Kaunert consider how the paradigm shifts in Turkish counter-terrorism policies that occurred during these periods have their basis in different domestic and EU-level factors. Exploring the EU's relations with candidate countries, the book highlights how its influence on Turkey is connected to the viable prospect of Turkey's membership.
Examining one of the most important policy areas of European integration, this book will be critical reading for academics and students of European politics and policy, international relations, terrorism and security, and regional studies. It will also be beneficial for practitioners, politicians, and non-governmental and civil society organizations.
