Description

EU Conditionality in Turkey: When Does it Work? When Does it Fail? seeks to address several interconnected questions on the terms, circumstances, and factors that make the dynamics of conditionality work or fail in the case of the European Union-Turkey relationship. Analyzing the areas of disputes and of agreements, the contributions of this edited volume are focused on exploring the strengths and weaknesses of what the conditionality offers or stipulates, and what Turkey, as a candidate state, is capable or incapable of performing in response. Through a detailed analysis of each separate case underlined by the parties involved in the process of Turkey’s accession to the EU, the editors and the contributors of this collection expertly infer how, when, and under what conditions the concept of conditionality works or fails.
