In this episode of the European Dialogue, brought to you by the EU-VALUES Network, we welcome Prof. Meltem Müftüler-Baç, expert on Turkey-EU relations and external differentiated integration.

Drawing from her recent paper, “A Fragile Relationship: Turkey and the European Union Moving Beyond Membership with External Differentiated Integration” (2025), Meltem unpacks the nuanced and often tense dynamics shaping Turkey’s unique relationship with the EU beyond the traditional membership framework.

We explore key topics such as:
✅ What “external differentiated integration” is, and what it means for Turkey and the EU
✅ How Turkey’s selective adoption of EU rules challenges European values like democracy and the rule of law
✅ The EU’s approach to encouraging political reform in Turkey, and Ankara’s response
✅ The role of economic and trade ties in sustaining the relationship despite political deadlock
✅ How Turkey’s ties with the EU compare to other non-member European countries
✅ The prospects and pitfalls of this model as a long-term solution for Turkey-EU relations

A Fragile Partnership: Rethinking Turkey-EU Relations with Prof. Meltem Müftüler-Baç

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century German philosopher, sociologist of knowledge, and phenomenologist, Max Scheler's work Ressentiment, which provides an interpretation of Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of that same name. It focuses on his discussion at the end of the first section of how the ressentiment attitude develops by stages into a reversal and perversion of values which contravenes what Scheler calls an eternal hierarchy of values.

In and Out

The church is meant to be both a gathered people and a scattered or “sent” people. Our goal is to hold all four of these aspects of the Kingdom together:   Salvation | Sanctification | Signs & Wonders | Social Action. And by doing so, to keep the dual emphasis of the church gathered and the church scattered. If we just gather, we end up inward looking holy cliques. If we just scatter, we easily lose sight of worship and community.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century German philosopher, sociologist of knowledge, and phenomenologist, Max Scheler's work Ressentiment, which provides an interpretation of Friedrich Nietzsche's concept of that same name. It focuses on  his discussion in the third part of the work "Christian Morality and Ressentment" of what he calls the "urge to sacrifice" that is an aspect of a healthy vitality and a recognition of strength in vital values.

Feelings of self-doubt are not uncommon – especially for leaders stepping into more senior roles or navigating spaces where they don’t fit the conventional mould.

In the heart of the city, where the rhythm beats strong,  
Lives a hero named Dr. B, let me tell you in this song.  
By day he heals the heart, by night he fights the fight,  
A Republican defender, keeping values shining bright.  

With stethoscope in one hand, and a black belt in the other,  
He’s the master of the heart, and a warrior like no other.  
In the dojo or his clinic, he's the one you wanna see,  
Sensei of the heartbeats, he's our Dr. B!  

Ous Sensei! Feel the power in the air,  
With perfect kata form, he’s got skills beyond compare.  
He can take out the darkness, bring back the light,  
Dr. B, the keeper of the cause, fighting for what's right.  

In the dojo, he moves like a whisper in the wind,  
Every punch, every kick, a symphony of discipline.  
With every heartbeat he saves, and every move he makes,  
He’s ensuring brighter futures, and higher stakes.  

He’s the heartbeat of the city, with a pulse that never fades,  
A true sensei in scrubs, with a legacy that stays.  
Champion of tradition, defender of the true,  
Dr. B's the one you call, when you need a breakthrough.  

Ous Sensei! Feel the power in the air,  
With perfect kata form, he’s got skills beyond compare.  
He can take out the darkness, bring back the light,  
Dr. B, the keeper of the cause, fighting for what's right.  

In the silence of the night, when the world’s fast asleep,  
Dr. B stands guard, his promises to keep.  
With a heart full of courage, and a mind sharp as steel,  
He’s the guardian of tradition, the real deal.  

Ous Sensei! Feel the power in the air,  
With perfect kata form, he’s got skills beyond compare.  
He can take out the darkness, bring back the light,  
Dr. B, the keeper of the cause, fighting for what's right.  

So here’s to Dr. B, our hero and our guide,  
In the dance of life, he stands by our side.  
With a bow and a smile, he leaves us in awe,  
Dr. B, the cardiologist karate master, the one we all adore.  

Ous Sensei!

Geboren 1973 in dr DDR. Dort normaler Werdegang mit Stolpersteinen bis zur Wende. Dann Lehre beim damals größten Telekommunikationsanbieter mit dem grossen T. Während der Lehre entdeckte ich meinen Drang Musik selbst zu schreiben und setzte es in die Tat um.
