    The Impact of EU-Driven Reforms on the Political Autonomy of the Turkish Military
    in South European Society & Politics , Volume 16, Issue 2, Special Issue: Turkey and the European Union: Accession and Reform, June ,  2011 ,  293-308
    Turkish civil-military relations entered a new phase starting with the first European-Union-induced reforms in 1999, and have gained a new momentum since 2007. This article first introduces the amendments to Turkish civil-military relations, then asks how much the constitutional and legal amendments have affected the political autonomy of the military. The article takes the indicators of military autonomy into consideration as a whole and argues that legal amendments have not introduced any changes to one-third of the military prerogatives. In those areas where some adjustments have been made, either more reforms must follow or democratic practices must endure the test of time.
