CRRC-Georgia is part of consortium of 15 renowned universities and think tanks working on FEUTURE project, including University of Cologne, Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI), Istanbul Bilgi University, Barcelona Centre for International Affairs (CIDOB), Centre international de formation européenne (CIFE), Danish Institute for International Studies (DIIS), Centre for Economics and Foreign Policy Studies (EDAM), Hellenic Foundation for European and Foreign Policy (Eliamep), Koç University, Middle East Research Institute (MERI), Middle East Technical University (METU), Trans European Policy Studies Association (TEPSA), American University in Cairo, Sabancı University. Considering on-going socio-political and economic context in Europe, as well as Turkey’s impact on the region, the aim of the research is to analyse and assess complex relations between Turkey and the EU and discuss Turkey’s role in the region, both in terms of historical narratives and emerging scenarios.
The FEUTURE’s research aims to:
-
- Map the dynamics of EU-Turkey relations as to underlying narratives and thematic drivers;
-
- Substantiate most likely future scenario(s) and assess its implications;
-
- Draw policy recommendations;
-
- Feuture provides excellence and pursues an ambitious, inspiring and innovative programme in a three-phased structure of elaboration, exploration and extrapolation. It applies an inter-temporal, interdisciplinary and international approach by analysing drivers within six thematic dimensions (politics, security, economics, energy, migration, identity) and across four levels of analysis (EU, Turkey, neighbourhood, global).
