Abstract

The paper is set out to examine the dynamics of eastern enlargement of European Union through different perspectives, to what extent these approaches are successful in giving a viable response to the case and lastly a conclusive section about Turkey and the implications of each perspective on the accession process of Turkey. The first aim is to point out whether a specific perspective is sufficiently viable to figure out the factor mechanism in the enlargement process, and secondly Eastern Europe enlargement process and the accession negotiation process of Turkey will be examined in terms of any reciprocity of factors. Many scholars try to explain the enlargement process through non-theoretical basis and what is significant in this paper is the exclusion of story-making about the enlargement priorities of European Union. Enlargement priorities for EU can be viewed through different perspectives and each of these perspective/approaches has their own emphasis on specific factor analysis
