The Centre for the Study of Social and Global Justice (CSSGJ) is very pleased to be welcoming Dr Elif Uzgoren. The title of her talk is "Book Launch: The Political Economy of Turkey's Integration into Europe: Uneven Development and Hegemony"

Elif Uzgören is Associate Professor of International Political Economy at the Department of International Relations, Dokuz Eylül University, Turkey.

This book examines Turkey's integration with Europe within structural dynamics of globalisation from a critical political economy perspective. Critical approaches have been sidelined within European Studies. Turkish enlargement is not an exemption. The analyses are based on original data generated by 109 interviews conducted in 2010, 2017 and 2023 with five categories of actors: representatives of capital and labour, political parties, state officials, and struggles around ecology, patriarchy and migration. It argues that the pro-membership was hegemonic in the 2000s which was contested by two rival class strategies, Ha-vet and neo-mercantilism. In the 2010s, pro-membership is no longer hegemonic within rising critical tone of social forces supporting rival class strategies. Unevenness of Turkey's trajectory of integration to Europe is likely to be consolidated through market integration and management of migration through transactional approach.

Centre for the Study of Social and Global Justice

The Centre for the Study of Social and Global Justice (CSSGJ) is an independent research centre created to provide a focus for critically oriented education, teaching, and activism, in relation to the most fundamental question facing us as citizens of the world: how should we live? In other words, the CSSGJ was created as a space for critical reflection, education, and research in many different facets of social and global justice.

The CSSGJ is excited about the prospects of reaching a larger audience by exploiting the opportunities offered by the internet and being able to invite speakers from all around the world, without the financial constraints of having to pay for transport costs and hotels.

We will hold regular online events available to all, including speakers from various countries and continents – all focused on promoting social and global justice and peace through education.

Consonant with its commitment to social justice, CSSGJ ensures a great variety of speakers from different ethnic and gender backgrounds, as well as countries.

We hope to develop a space where those interested in progressive education and matters of social and global justice and peace can congregate online and overcome the barriers of physical distance between us.
