The Turkish economy has done remarkably well during the last decade. It has emerged from the worldwide economic crisis as the role model for other emerging market economies, something which now-President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan still considers to be one of his biggest feats. But in the last one and a half year, economic growth has considerably slowed, the reform zeal has been ebbing away and a conflict is brewing between the Turkish government and the Central Bank. Can Turkey continue on the path of sustainable growth to becoming an economic actor at the highest international level, or will it fail and fall into the middle-income trap?
The European Politics and Institutions Programme covers the EU’s institutional architecture, governance and policymaking to ensure that it can move forward and respond to the challenges of the 21st century democratically and effectively. It also monitors and analyses political developments at the EU level and in the member states, discussing the key questions of how to involve European citizens in the discussions over the Union’s future and how to win their support for European integration. The Programme has a special focus on enlargement policy towards the Western Balkans, questions of EU institutional reform and illiberal trends in European democracies.
