dc.description.abstractAlbania started its negotiation with the European Union with the initiation of the cooperation of the PHARE programme during early 1990s, right after the decline of the communist regime. The cooperation between Albania and the Union progressed gradually throughout the past two decades. Albanian‟s first official application for candidate status was noted back in 2009, but was rejected. The request for candidate status of the country got rejected three times in a row for distinct reasons, to get finally granted in summer of 2014. This study tries to analyse the reasons why the European Union granted candidate status to Albania in June 2014. This thesis evaluates different scholarly articles from different authors, commonly called content analysis. In the literature review of the study, the constructivist perspective emphasizes the security reasons that led the European Union grant candidate status to Albania and Europeanization perspective that points out the progress that Albania has already made in fulfilling the criteria.en_US
dc.description.abstractÖZ: Arnavutluk, Komünist rejimin çöküşünü izleyen 1990lı yıllarda, PHARE programı işbirliği girişimiyle Avrupa Birliği müzakerelerine başladı. Arnavutluk ve Birlik arasındaki işbirliği, son yirmi yıl boyunca kademeli olarak ilerledi. Arnavutluk‟un adaylık statüsü için yaptığı ilk resmi başvuru 2009 yılına denk gelir, ancak reddedilir. Ülkenin adaylık statüsü talebi farklı nedenlerden ötürü, ancak üç kez üst üste reddedildikten sonra, nihayet 2014 yazında verilir. Bu tez, 2014 Haziran‟ında Arnavutluk‟a aday statüsü verilme nedenlerini analiz etme çabası güder. Bu tez, çeşitli yazarların farklı bilimsel makalelerini, yaygın olarak tanımlanan adıyla, içerik analizine tabi tutarak analiz eder. Bu çalışmanın literatür taramasındaki konstrüktivist bakış açısı, Avrupa Birliği‟nin Arnavutluk'a aday statüsü vermesine yol açan güvenlik nedenleri vurgularken, Avrupalılaşma perspektifi Arnavutluk‟un bu kriterleri yerine getirirken halihazırda kaydettiği ilerlemeye işaret eder.en_US
