"This book provides a fascinating account of the impact of EU conditionality on Turkish foreign policy in the long duree. It is a must read for those working on EU enlargement policy, EU-Turkey relations and Turkish foreign policy." - Senem Aydın-Düzgit, Associate Professor of International Relations, Sabancı University, Turkey."Conditionality, the EU and Turkey: From Transformation to Retrenchment presents a fascinating, longitudinal analysis of Turkish foreign policy in the context of EU integration. Starting with Turkey’s application for EU membership, the book identifies the incremental attachment to and detachment from the EU, the power, limits and subtleties of conditionality in the area of foreign policy. Conditionality, the EU and Turkey provides essential reading for students and practitioners with interest in the Europeanisation of Turkey and other non-member states." - Jan-Hinrik Meyer-Sahling, University of Nottingham, UK.
