Role of Regional Organizations in Regional Securities-Case of the EU and Turkey

2004年：在联合研究之初，我们三人，首席研究员（M.Hachiya），研究员（Y.Morii）和副研究员（y.b hazama），介绍了各自过去的作品，以建立对欧盟，成员国（德国）和土耳其之间多层次相互关系的共同理解。与德国与土耳其的关系相对稳定相比，欧盟与土耳其的关系受到国际政治的强烈影响。2005年，该项目的所有三个参与者在夏天一起访问了伊斯坦布尔和安卡拉。我们访问了8个机构，会见了大约20位研究人员。调查员和首席调查员发现，土耳其人民对欧盟角色的期望和理解的评论令人大开眼界。土耳其对欧洲稳定的重要性的自我定义，以及对欧盟模棱两可的做法的愤怒，几乎在每次访问中都得到了表达。2006年11月，在东京举行了一场公开研讨会，主题为：1)土耳其为加入欧盟而进行的国内改革；2)承认土耳其为候选国的决定的问题和影响；3)德国的欧盟政策和土耳其作为欧盟成员国的政策。除了我们在大会上收到的问题外，我们还确认，尽管土耳其进行了明显的国内改革，但各成员国的不同态度使改善欧盟-土耳其关系的障碍难以克服。所获得的知识将于2007年10月由首席研究员编辑成书出版。

2004 :At the beginning of the joint research, three of us, Head Investigator (M.Hachiya), Investigator (Y.Morii) and Associated Investigator (Y.Hazama), presented each one's past works in order to establish common understanding of Multi-level inter-relations between the EU, a Member State (Germany), and Turkey. In contrast to a fairly stable relation between Germany and Turkey, relations between the EU and Turkey have been strongly influenced by the international politics.2005All three of the participants in the project visited Istanbul and Ankara in the summer together. We visited 8 institutions and met roughly 20 researchers. The investigator and the head investigator found the comments by the Turkish people about the expectation and understanding of the EU's roles quite eye-opening. The self-definition of Turkey's importance in stabilization of Europe and its irritation towards the ambiguous approach of the EU were expressed practically at every visit. On the other hand, some expressed that the implementation of the EU Accession conditions inside Turkey would enhance the needed domestic reforms in Turkey.2006An open symposium on the subjects of 1)Turkish domestic reforms toward the EU accession 2)questions and impacts of the decision to recognize Turkey as a candidate state, and 3)Germany's EU policy and Turkish policy as an EU Member State in Tokyo in November. Along with the questions we received from the floor, we confirmed that despite an evident domestic reforms in Turkey, the different attitudes of the Member States made it difficult to overcome obstacles to improve the EU-Turkey relationship. The obtained knowledge will be published as a book edited by the head investigator in October,2007.
