Reviews
“Never have relations between Turkey and the European Union been so tense. Yet rarely have we had the opportunity to realize how important this relationship is, for good and ill. At such a critical juncture, this edited volume by Reiners and Turhan provides a much needed theoretical, empirical and policy compass to guide us through the turbulent waters of what remains an existentially important relationship for both the European Union and Turkey.”
—Nathalie Tocci, Special Advisor to EU HRVP Josep Borrell, and Director of the Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI), Rome, Italy
“This is an important and original contribution. It offers concrete suggestions concerning how to end the current stalemate in Turkey-EU relations and recreate the basis of a new partnership. It should appeal to a broad audience of scholars, students and practitioners.”— Ziya Öniş, Professor, Koç University, Istanbul, Turkey
“This volume amounts to a quintessential handbook of EU-Turkey relations after 2009. The theoretical and empirical breadth of its contributions and their state-of-the art analyses in light of domestic, bilateral and global influences provide valuable insights for the interested public, policymakers and experts alike. Instead of reaffirming stereotypes, the authors highlight the complexities of the relationship, providing an excellent basis for future studies as much as further political debate.”
— Thomas Diez, Professor, University of Tübingen, Germany
“This volume focuses on the last decade of the relations between the EU and Turkey when profound changes have taken place both in Europe and the World. The book’s unique contribution rests on the fact that it introduces a systematic and multidimensional analysis of the field bringing together studies on theories, actors, and policies. It should be praised as the result of a fruitful collaboration between scholars from the EU and Turkey—all of them European—when relations at the political level ran into hurdles.”
—Çiğdem Nas, Secretary General, Economic Development Foundation (IKV) / Associate Professor, Yıldız Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey
“With excellent timing Reiners and Turhan have brought together a distinguished team of experts to look at the dynamics of a relationship that is often problematic but of critical importance to both the EU and Turkey. The volume covers not only the current disputes between the two sides but offers a balanced, thoughtful but critical analysis of the multi-faceted EU-Turkey relationship over the past decade or so, providing us with an excellent and comprehensive study.”
—Geoffrey Edwards, Senior Fellow and Emeritus Reader, University of Cambridge, UK
