This article deals with contradictories transition’s dynamics of central state/peripheries interactions in the context of the europeanization process in Turkey, particularly the acquis communautaire in terms of structural funds and of pre-accession assistance. First, this article analyses how much centralisation’s structures and way of thinking are still current, lag in front of acquis communautaires in terms of regional policies witch, at the contrary, cheer up the role of territories in policy-making. Second, this article deals with attempts at actual institutional transformations. The europeanization process is distinguished by three points : first of all, this process is a strong constraint imposed by the acquis communautaire; second, a political set of circumstances has opened in this way a political opportunity window with the islamic party election; but, third, beyond this short term conjuncture, administrative’s reforms continue to leave an important place to centralization of Turkish political and administrative system.
