Abstract
The contribution explores the role of CJEU case law in relation to the Ankara Agreement and, more broadly, the right of Turkish citizens to free movement of workers. Network analysis is used to group, isolate, and rank CJEU decisions in the field. The examination shows how network analysis can be used to approach and better understand the case law of the CJEU in an empirical manner. The contribution also provides substantive insight to the law in the particular field in question and its relationship to other fields.
