European influence on Ottoman cuisine: From the Tanzimat period (1839-1876) to the 1920s
(Bilkent University, 2021) Aizad, Mahnoor; Mangi, Sehar; Jaffery, Roshaan Abbas; Kapıasheva, Diana; Taleb, Chifae
From the late-1830s through the 1920s, a series of events took place that played a great role in Europeanizing the food and dining etiquette within the Ottoman Empire. Initially, the Ottoman Turks' attitudes toward such changes were not entirely positive; but, as the Crimean War unfolded the nature of the influence altered. Following this, Sultan Abdul Aziz, the Ottoman Emperor at the time, and his entourage travelled to Europe in 1867, which had a profound effect on Ottoman palace cuisine afterwards. Finally, the Bolshevik revolution that took place in 1917 forced members of the royal dynasty to flee from Russia to Turkey and, afterward, Europe. These events brought some Russian dishes to Turkish cuisine. Many European travelers wrote about their journeys and experiences during this period, which will aid in understanding how and what changed with the arrival of the White Russians. This paper examines the events that contributed to the Europeanization of food and dining etiquette in the Ottoman Empire, as well as the degree to which they had an influence on the Ottoman sultans and the people of the Empire.

Europeanisation in the ‘Southern Periphery’: comparative research findings on the EU's impact on domestic political economies
(Routledge, 2013) Balkir, C.; Bolukbasi, H. T.; Ertugal, E.
This article presents the comparative findings of six case studies of continuity and change in Southern European political economies which make use of the Europeanisation research programme. It summarises the varied European Union (EU) level inputs, frameworks or agendas in the different policy areas that each case study focuses on. It gauges the magnitude and direction of domestic change at the level of policy and governance in each political economy. In order to show how the case studies unpack the relationship between the EU input and domestic change in public policies, the article explains how the prevalent ideas, dominant interests and structuring institutions co-determine the nature of domestic change in political economies.

Europeanisation of employment policy in Turkey: tracing domestic change through institutions, ideas and interests
(Routledge, 2013) Bolukbasi, H. T.; Ertugal, E.
This article examines the impact of the European Union (EU) on Turkish political economy through an analysis of employment policy. Through tracing ‘institutions’, ‘ideas’ and ‘interests’ representing this policy area, it analyses the extent to which the accession process, which started with the granting of candidate status at the Helsinki Summit in December 1999, has prompted a transformation in this policy area. It draws on empirical evidence based on semi-structured interviews and other primary sources. The main finding is that domestic change occurs, however limited and variegated across sub-policy areas, through policy learning. Moreover, the policy ideas transplanted from the EU gain importance only in interaction with preferences of the coalition of dominant actors..

Globalisation and/or Europeanisation? the case of flexicurity
(Routledge, 2013) Tsarouhas, D.; Ladi, S.
The relationship between globalisation and Europeanisation is conventionally studied by focusing on the domestic level. In this article we explore this relationship at the international level instead. We examine the way in which the two phenomena in the form of the ILO and the EU relate to one another. Adopting a discursive institutionalist approach and focusing on flexicurity, we investigate whether, how and under what conditions the discourse on flexicurity provides a point of convergence or divergence between globalisation and Europeanisation. Our empirical data reveals attempts by the European Commission to use globalisation as a legitimating device for a market-accommodating programme for labour market reform. The ILO remains more sceptical, both about the overall effects of globalisation and the more concrete uses of flexicurity. Meanwhile, the concept of flexicurity is subject to change and rearticulation in line with the evolving policy agenda endorsed by the Commission and/or the member states. The relationship between Europe and globalisation is thus far from neutral. 'Europe' is active in shaping globalisation; translated into the work undertaken here, Europeanisation could be conceived as a facet of globalisation rather than as a bulwark to it, or merely as a process running parallel to it.

The impact of the EU on Turkey: Toward streamlining Europeanisation as a research programme
(Palgrave Macmillan Ltd., 2010) Bolukbasi, H. T.; Ertugal, E.; Ozcurumez, S.
This article provides a reassessment of the literature on the transformative impact of the EU on Turkey through the lens of the Europeanisation research programme. It relies on systematic examination of a sample of the literature based on substantive findings, research design and methods. It suggests that this sample displays limitations characteristic of the Europeanisation research programme and proposes to remedy these limitations by applying the research design and methods used therein for generating empirically based comparative research on Turkey. © 2010 European Consortium for Political Research.
