From the reviews: "Turkey's Accession to the European Union brings together a set of perspectives on Turkey-European Union (EU) relations, as viewed by Turks, Greeks and other European scholars. The professed goal of the volume is to undertake 'a comprehensive and multidimensional approach to the question of Turkey's admission into European structures.' It does fulfill that goal to a large extent, covering a wide range of issues, including security, identity, economy, institutional structures, and (im)migration. ... the overall scheme remains quite accessible to the lay reader." (Asli Toksabay Esen, New Perspectives on Turkey, Issue 40, 2009) "Turkey's Accession to the European Union is more like a journey through a well-trodden and familiar terrain. ... draws attention to political risks and benefits of Turkish membership as perceived by both sides, the role of identity and religion in the shaping of those perceptions, and the role or security considerations in the policy debate on how to integrate Turkey into European institutional frameworks. ... aimed at readers who are new to the topic and policy makers and practitioners who are under stringent time constraints." (Mehmet Ugur, The Political Quarterly, Vol. 81 (1), 2010)
