摘要

The desire of Turkey to join the Euro-pean Union may well be the greatest tribute ever paid by an outside power to the EU'S brand of liberal democracy. Both Turkey's secular elite and its moderate Islamic-backed politicians think that Europe's pluralist model can best protect their values and interests. With a lot of luck, both might be proved right. But reaching an accommodation with Turkey also presents one of the biggest challenges faced by the EU in more than 30 years of admitting new members. TUrkey is big, poor and populous. It sprawls from Europe into Asia. Its people are overwhelmingly Muslim, although its political institutions are secular. The EU'S decision to declare lUrkey a candidate for membership in 1999,12 years after TUrkey formally applied, was a bold move. TUrkey was just starting to emerge from a "lost decade" in the 1990s, marked by "civil war, secular-Islamic polarisation, authoritarian proclivities, economic crisis and systemic corruption", in the words of Omer Taspinar, co-director of the TUrkey programme at the Brookings Institution, an American think-tank. It had suffered three military coups since 1960, four if you counted the army's help in bringing down a government in 1997. Weak and shifting coalition governments were the rule until the centre-right AKP party, appealing to moderate Islamic voters, won a landslide victory in 2002.
