Introduction: Exploring Non-Discrimination in Turkey
(Springer International Publishing, 2022) Yilmaz,G.; International Relations
The principle of non-discrimination is at the heart of the international law, being “the only human rights explicitly included in the United Nations(UN) Charter, and they appear at the beginning of virtually every major human rights instrument” (Farrior, S. (2017). Introduction. In S. Farrior (Ed.). Equality and Non-discrimination under International Law Volume II. (xii-xxiii).London and New York: Routledge., p. xi). The principle requires equality of all persons without any discrimination on the basis of various elements like race, color, ethnicity, language, sex, sexual orientation, religion, political opinion, social or economic origin. © The Editor(s)(if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.

It Is Pull-And That Matters for External Europeanization! Explaining Minority Policy Change in Turkey
(Routledge, 2014) Yilmaz,G.; International Relations
Starting with an empirical puzzle, i.e. the variation in minority-related change in Turkey across time, this article aims to uncover the conditions that promote or constrain domestic change and puts forward a comprehensive theoretical framework for external Europeanization. The article draws on current external Europeanization theories and suggests adopting the pull-and-push model of member state Europeanization in external Europeanization. It argues that domestic change - Turkey's minority policy change in the empirical case - depends on the combination and interaction of EU push and domestic pull factors. © 2014 © 2013 Taylor & Francis.

Minority Rights in Turkey: a Battlefield for Europeanization
(Taylor and Francis, 2017) Yilmaz,G.; International Relations
The issue of minority rights is highly contested in both member and candidate states of the European Union. Compared with other policy areas, the Europeanization process in minority rights is much slower and more problematic. Turkey, though, differs from the majority of the member states by showing positive development, although admittedly it is still characterised by both accelerations and slowdowns. This book examines how minority protection, as a highly sensitive and controversial issue, is promoted or constrained in the EU’s neighbourhood, by focusing on the case of Turkey. It draws on current external Europeanization theories and suggests a rationalist model comprising both the role of the EU and also domestic factors. It integrates two models of external Europeanization provided by Schimmelfennig and Sedelmier (2005), i.e. the external incentives and lesson-drawing models, and the framework of the pull-and-push model of member state Europeanization by Börzel (2000), to derive a comprehensive model for external Europeanization. The book argues that the push by EU conditionality and the pull by domestic dissatisfaction are influential in promoting change. Without one or the other, domestic change remains incomplete, as it is either shallow or selective. Focusing on the Turkish case, the book enhances the theoretical understanding of external Europeanization by shifting focus away from EU conditionality to voluntarily driven change, and by providing a theoretical model that is applicable to other countries. It will therefore be a valuable resource for students and scholars studying minority rights and Turkish and European ethnic politics. © 2017 Gözde Yilmaz.
