Article Turkey-European Union Relations in the Context of Identity Debate(2008) Akşemsettinoğlu, GökhanThe enlargement of the European Union (EU) to Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs), in 2004, marked the importance of both multiculturalism and identity in the European integration process. In other words, the EU has accepted European countries of different cultures, which however adopted the European values and norms entirely. In this sense, the EU has decided to accept European countries as full members, which meet the minimum accession criteria without considering their different cultural orientations. This approach is the reflection of the “unity in diversity” idea.Book Part Transatlantic approach to global security problems(Dış Politika Enstitüsü, 2008) Akşemsettinoğlu, GökhanThe general dynamics of the post-Cold War era have been concentrated around the idea of replacing earlier conflicts with cooperation. This idea is coupled with a vision of a more peaceful and prosperous age. In considering a peaceful world, security issues must be foremost. If we focus on global security issues and problems, it is best to evaluate the approaches of the United States (US) and Europe (that is so-called transatlantic approach) at the same time. There is no doubt that both the US and Europe are major security powers in the postwar period, and that relations between them determine global issues. This paper, therefore, analyzes both the cooperative and competitive natures of transatlantic approach to global security problems. The paper examines, shortly, the security issues surrounding “problem” states, including Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Nigeria, and the Middle East region - as of Arab-Israeli relations, in particular.
