A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

What impact do issues of culture, religion and identity have on Turkey's chances of joining the EU? Are religious and cultural factors per se the primary obstacle to Turkish accession, or is it their interaction with other factors that is prolonging and complicating Turkey's progress towards EU membership? Mirela Bogdani here analyses the complex range of issues that are influencing the process of Turkey's accession to the EU, assesses the positions of different European actors towards Turkey's pursuit of EU membership and identifies the reasons for the European opposition. She also analyses the issues of political Islam, multiculturalism and the compatibility of Islam with democracy. This book will be an invaluable resource for anyone interested in EU politics, EU enlargement policy, EU-Turkey relations, the relationship between religion and politics, political Islam, multiculturalism and supranational integration.

Revue de presse :

'This is a very interesting and provocative book which should cause a stir.' --John Loughlin, Fellow of St Edmund's College, Cambridge, and formerly Professor of European Politics, Cardiff University

'This book makes a significant contribution to understanding why Turkey's desired membership of the EU is opposed by so many and why the whole question has become the 'elephant in the room' in Brussels. This is a subject of extreme importance for the future not only of Turkey but of the European Union as a whole.' --Miranda Vickers, author of 'The Albanians: A Modern History'
