1 International Conference Where is Turkey heading on the Threshold of the Millennium? Wednesday, May 4, 2011 Venue: Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic, Loretánské nám. 5, Prague, Mirror Hall
2 Conference Synopsis Panel I: Where is Turkey heading? At the beginning of the millennium, Turkey s economy was considerably weak and its political environment, with its short-lived coalitions, was unstable. Ten years later Turkey is a member of the G20 and the domestic political situation has become more stable. The respect for human rights has been strengthened and the key historical and nationalist taboos have been partly broken. However, the society and politics in Turkey remain internally deeply divided on key issues such as laicism, minority rights, freedom of the press, and the democratization of the political system. The process of political reforms seems to have lost momentum and the EU accession negotiations are confronted with severe obstacles for both internal and external reasons. At the beginning of the new decade and before the next parliamentary elections in June 2011, Turkey experiences again a fierce debate on many issues lying at the heart of Turkey s approach towards democracy. Could Turkey be a role model for the democratization and reform in the Middle East, as some observers and politicians present it? Panel II: Turkey A rising power? Ankara s influence in the region of the Middle East is rising under the leadership of Prime Minister Erdoğan and Minister of Foreign Affairs Davutoğlu. Taking advantage of its economic strength and historical and cultural links with the Muslim world, Turkey s relations with its neighbors have improved. In general, Ankara s foreign policy is becoming more assertive. Turkey is taking advantage of its geopolitical position and wants to become a regional power with global influence. Today, Turkey matters more than many would have predicted ten years ago. Yet, the dynamism of Turkey s foreign policy raises some questions and concerns. Irena Kalhousová Chief Analyst Erik Siegl Program Coordinator Heinrich Böll Stiftung
3 Conference Program 8.45 Registration 9.15 Opening of the conference Panel I: Where is Turkey heading? What are the main accomplishments and deficits after eight years of AKP s rule? How democratic are the main political actors in Turkey the AKP and CHP? Who are the proponents and opponents of democratic changes? Are there any serious initiatives to overcome the deep controversy regarding laicism, rights of religious minorities and the Kurdish issue? What are the main issues and who are the main actors as Turkey moves toward the parliamentary elections in 2011? What policy options do they offer? To what extend is the EU still important for the country s democratisation process? Could Turkey be a role model for the democratization and reform in the Middle East?

Is Turkey s political system rooted in an identity-based foreign policy? Is Ankara leaning East-ward and risking the deterioration of relations with the EU and USA? Should Turkey play a stronger role as a part of the foreign and security pillar of the EU? What would be the prerequisites? How do we evaluate Turkey s recent foreign policy in this regard? Are the Turkey-US relations under Obama undergoing a considerable change? What are the determinants of Turkey-US relations? How will the relations between Turkey and its Eastern neighbors, including Iran, affect the relations between Turkey and the US/EU?

7 PSSI is a non-profit, non-governmental organization established in early 2002 to advance the building of a just, secure, democratic, free-market society in the Czech Republic and other post-communist states. PSSI s mission is to help build an ever-growing number of informed and security-minded policy-makers dedicated to the development of democratic institutions and values in the Czech Republic and its regional neighbors. PSSI offers programs that meet the critical academic and experiential requirements to equip new generations of young leaders to manage the complex, security-related challenges of the 21st century. To fulfill its mission, PSSI undertakes to organize a variety of activities under its four principal programs: the Security Scholars Program; Program of Atlantic Security Studies; the Outreach Program; and the Corporate Council Program. PSSI also aims to identify and analyze select, cutting-edge foreign policy and international security issues and propose prudent and achievable policies to address these challenges. Heinrich Böll Foundation The Heinrich Böll Foundation is part of the Green political movement that has developed worldwide as a response to the traditional politics of socialism, liberalism, and conservatism. Our main tenets are ecology and sustainability, democracy and human rights, self-determination and justice. We place particular emphasis on gender democracy, meaning social emancipation and equal rights for women and men. We are also committed to equal rights for cultural and ethnic minorities and to the societal and political participations of immigrants. Finally, we promote non-violence and proactive peace policies. Our namesake, the writer and Nobel Prize laureate Heinrich Böll, personifies the values we stand for: defense of freedom, civic courage, tolerance, open debate, and the valuation of art and culture as independent spheres of thought and action. To achieve our goals, we seek strategic partnerships with others who share our values. We are an independent organization that is headquartered in the Federal Republic of Germany, yet we are an international actor. We cooperate with 160 project partners in over 60 countries and maintain offices in 28 countries, including ten in Europe and one in the United States. We regard ourselves as a European organization. We support the process of European integration and promote transatlantic relations. Our international offices in Prague and Warsaw conduct their activities in support of civil society organizations. They coordinate the foundation s regional work in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. The offices work on the challenges of European integration, gender democracy, as well as on energy policy and climate protection in the project countries. The Warsaw office has a special regional focus on gender policy matters, while the Prague office deals with interregional issues on energy and climate policy and Green movements in Central and Eastern Europe. The Prague office of the Heinrich Böll Foundation was established on August 21, 1990 and was the foundation s first-ever office abroad.
