AB'de Akademik Önceliklerin Tipolojisi ve Türkiye-AB İlişkileri Araştırması

There is a lack of comprehensive studies examining the specific topics that academics in Türkiye prioritize, their research trends, and the broader impact of their work. This study aims to address this gap by identifying the main topics and priorities in academic research on the EU and Türkiye-EU relations. It seeks to answer the main question: What topics do academics in Türkiye prioritize in their studies on the EU and Türkiye-EU relations? The study focuses on three main topics: Political Issues Within the EU (PIWEU), Political Problems in Türkiye-EU Relations (PPTREUR), and The Role of Academia in Türkiye-EU Relations (RATREUR). To explore these priorities, the study uses a survey conducted with 30 A-NEST academics and analyzes the data using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). AHP evaluates the relative importance of the main topics, while TOPSIS ranks the subtopics, providing a clear picture of academic priorities. This study highlights the research priorities of academics in Türkiye focusing on the EU and Türkiye-EU relations. It offers useful insights for understanding the challenges in Türkiye-EU relations and provides a foundation for addressing these challenges through both academic research and policy-making processes.
