ABSTRACT
This chapter will examine the Europeanisation of peak business organisations (PBOs)1 in Turkey and its possible consequences for Turkey’s integration with the EU. For analytical purposes, we define the concept of Europeanisation as
processes of (a) construction, (b) diffusion and (c) institutionalisation of formal and informal rules, procedures, policy paradigms, styles, ‘ways of doing things’ and shared beliefs and norms which are first defined and consolidated in the making of EU decisions and then incorporated in the logic of domestic discourse, identities, political structures and public policies.
