Abstract
The current stalemate between the EU and Turkey directly affects much policy
implementation, ranging from democracy to the economy. In terms of escaping from
this crisis, the current proposed solutions seem to be only effective in a handful of
areas. Concerning Turkey’s Europeanization, there is certain inertia. In a fraught
period, transport policy is a surprising success story, with its stability and
continuation in the alignment process. This study investigates the main reasons and
driving forces behind this curious case. The changing dynamics between different
periods has not only changed the background factors but also contributed to a
progressive approach, which has once again showed the importance of domestic
political preferences when it comes to Europeanization.
