    Europeanization of Political Elite Discourses in Turkey: A Content Analysis of Parliamentary Debates 1994-2002
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010) Taniyici, Saban
    This article assesses the relative importance of EU-level factors in the Europeanization of political elite discourses on the Copenhagen political criteria by evaluating alternative explanations of national contextual, party-level, and intraparty-level factors. The article argues that the Helsinki summit decision in December 1999 to recognize Turkey as a candidate helped place the issues of democracy, human rights, and rule of law in the discourses of Turkish political elites more decisively. However, it also argues that national context, party-level, and intraparty-level factors played a critical role providing a favorable and receptive environment for the EU's political criteria for membership to become a central concern for political elites in Turkey by creating an elite consensus on democratization in the months preceding the Helsinki summit.

    Representativeness and attitudes of municipal council members in Turkey: The case of Erzincan Province
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2006) Bulut, Yakup; Taniyici, Saban
    This study is concerned with the characteristics and attitudes of municipal council members in Turkey. First, it addresses the question of how representative the municipal councils are of the community they were elected from. Second, it deals with the question of whether attitudes of municipal council members towards aspects of local democracy are influenced by their occupational background and political party affiliation. The study tries to make generalisations about municipal council members in Turkey based on survey data from Erzincan province and its districts and also by reviewing existing literature on the subject.
