Rezensionen

'Drawing upon extensive empirical material and a variety of conceptual approaches, this book offers an insightful account of the major shift of Greece's policy toward Turkey in 1999 and its aftermath. It should be read by all those concerned to understand the strategic issues raised by Turkey's application to join the EU.'

- Kevin Featherstone, Professor of Contemporary Greek Studies and Director of the Hellenic Observatory in the European Institute, London School of Economics, UK

'A fascinating new theory on foreign policy behavior - one that proposes how states employ international socialization in their strategic approaches to transform the behavior of other states. The findings in this well-written book have major implications for International Relations Theory and foreign policy analysis.'

- T.V. Paul, James McGill Professor of International Relations, McGill University, Canada
