When the concept of societal security focused on social community and identity as its main value was constructed, a deeper political and security analysis of social phenomena and processes was possible to make. In the paper, the authors use the concept of societal security to analyse the actual process of the Republic of Turkey’s accession to the european Union with special emphasis on the attitudes and statements of the eU and political representatives of its member states who securitize, by rethoric, Turkey’s accession in order to protect the european identity.
