Abstract: Following the accession of ten new members to the European Union (EU) in May, 2004, the discussions about Turkey’s new competitive position with regard to a larger EU, have become even more prominent in both Europe and Turkey. So far, the main framework of these discussions has revolved around the issues related to Turkey’s ability to fulfill Maastricht convergence criteria and possible date for the full membership to the EU. However, in order to assess Turkey’s adjustment competence, recent studies follow a rather different and more cautious approach towards Turkey’s membership process by underlying the importance of factors, such as, sustainable economic growth, stable competitive strength and innovative economic structure. It is correctly argued by the new approach that, the most crucial element in Turkey’s European challenge will be Turkey’s ability to survive in increasingly more competitive global atmosphere. The main motivation behind this work, therefore, is to evaluate Turkey’s recent position with regard to new members of the EU and to provide some meaningful suggestions for a strategic trade policy.
