Gründe und Ausformungen des Euroskeptizismus bei der Republikanischen Volkspartei (CHP) und bei der Nationalistischen Bewegungspartei (MHP) : Causes and manifestations of Euroskepticism in the Republican People's Party (CHP) and the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP)

In this study, the Euroscepticism of the two Turkish political parties, CHP and MHP, are analysed and compared on the basis of party documents and speeches by party leaders from 2004 to 2007. The article addresses not only the types of Euroscepticism and the similarities and differences of the phenomenon, but also the causes of the different types observed by the political parties. Methodologically, the content analysis of Mayring (2008) and the difference method of John Stuart Mill (1874) are applied. The article centres from the analytical-theoretical point of view on the EU and on the party research.
