Summary/Abstract: The aim of the contribution is to analyze Europeanization of Turkey in the context of the European Union (EU) enlargement policy. The case of Turkey will be examined from the internal political development point of view, predominantly in the period 1999-2017 with a historicist overlap responding to a long-term relationship building with the European Community, or EU. Turkey will be analyzed in terms of its preparedness for joining the EU and therefore any top-down and down-top Europeanization signs in the areas of policy and politics, or three development phases - Europeanization, weak Europeanization and de-Europeanization of Turkey – will be observed. There are 2 hypothesis forming the basis of the research: 1. Turkey is a more active partner in relation to the EU, especially after 2015, when there were clear down-top signs of Europeanisation; 2. The EU reduces the requirements for Turkey in the context of ensuring European internal security.
