Abstract

The academic debate includes the functional model of differentiated integration in the EU–Turkey relations, which would mean the involvement of this state in the EU institutional framework and policies. The aim of the article is to analyse the inclusion of Turkey into the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the EU. It addresses the following questions: Is this policy a possible component of the new model of the EU–Turkey relations? What would be the potential areas of developed cooperation within this policy? Would it be possible for Turkey and the EU members to cooperate in the common neighbourhood? The author argues that the integration of Turkey into the EU foreign and security policy within the new model and as a result its cooperation with the EU countries within the common institutional framework would be possible only if the preferences and interests of the European Commission, EU members and Turkey are recognized sufficiently in the negotiated arrangement, which is currently highly problematic due to frequent contradictions between these preferences and interests, making the necessary compromise very difficult.
