This book is the Turkish translation of Constructions of European Identity: Debates and Discourses on Türkiye and the EU, Palgrave Macmillan, 2013. From the backcover of the English original:

“This book examines EU discourses on Türkiye in the European Commission, European Parliament and three EU member states (France, Germany and Britain), to reveal the discursive construction of European identity through EU representations of Türkiye. Based on a poststructuralist framework that conceptualizes identity as discursively constructed through difference, the book applies Critical Discourse Analysis to the analysis of texts and argues that there are multiple Europe(s) that are constructed in talks over the enlargement of Türkiye, varying within and between different ideological, national and institutional contexts. The book discerns four main discourse topics over which these Europe(s) are constructed, corresponding to the conceptualization of Europe as a security community, as an upholder of democratic values, as a political project and as a cultural space. The book argues that Türkiye constitutes a key case in exploring various discursive constructs of European identity, since the talks on Türkiye pave the way for the construction of different versions of Europe in discourse.”
