There is a brief introduction for each part prior to the discussion of specific chapters just to make the readers familiar with their content.

The Economics of Europe and the European Union $60.16 This distinctive textbook combines comprehensive coverage of the key policy areas of the European Union with analysis of individual countries, including the recent accession countries and Turkey. Part I analyzes the economic bases for the rise of the European Union from its origins in the post-World War II recovery to its historic enlargement in 2004. Part II takes up the different nation-state perspectives on the EU’s economic policies by looking in turn at all European countries, whether members of the EU or not. The book is unique in providing both an EU perspective and European nation-state perspective on the major policy issues which have arisen since the end of World War II, as well as putting the economic analysis into an historical narrative which emphasizes the responses of policy-makers to external shocks such as the Cold War, the oil shocks, German reunification, and the collapse of the Soviet Union. |

The Impact of Eu Accession on the Legal Orders of New Eu Member States And (Pre-) Candidate Countries $120.26 In 2004, ten countries joined the European Union as Member States and five others (Bulgaria, Croatia, Romania, Serbia and Montenegro, and Turkey) had or received (pre-)candidate country status. EU accession requires significant adaptations in the laws and policies of a country. In order to analyse the impact of these developments and support the countries concerned, the T.M.C. Asser Institute in The Hague initiated a project which started in early 2003 and concluded during the Dutch EU presidency in October 2004. The fifteen country reports resulting from that project, written by national experts and updated by the volume editors, are presented in this book. As a comparative study of these countries, this is an excellent guide for the preparation of the national legal orders for EU accession, for briefing and training civil servants, judges, practitioners, officials of international organizations, and will be of great interest to academics and post-graduate students. |

The Politics of Eu Accession $128 The question of Turkish membership in the European Union is highly controversial and subject to many misperceptions and misunderstandings on both sides. This book examines the politics of EU accession which have evolved during the expansion of the EU, from more procedural conditions to provisions of substantive democracy. With a particular focus on the challenges Turkey faces to join the EU, the authors examine the experiences of the newly-democratised and acceded Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia to provide insight and to identify the best possible solutions. Using a social constructivist approach, the authors address issues including Euroscepticism, EU absorption capacity, women”s rights, democratisation, Turkish Kamalism, the desecuritisation of Turkish politics and the problem of Northern Cyprus.This book will be of interest to students and scholars of European politics, Turkish politics and international politics. |

Turkey and European Security Defence Policy $73.97 Security perceptions in Europe have changed drastically in the last decade due to the effects of globalization. As a result, the EU”s relations with Turkey and the security policies of the EU and Turkey have become increasingly important. In light of recent developments — not least the controversial issue of Turkey”s EU candidacy — this book attempts to answer two main questions: Is there a gap between EU and Turkish security cultures? and To what extent is Turkey an advantage for Europe?. Cigdem Ustun here examines Turkey”s crucial role with NATO and details its relations and priorities in the Mediterranean, the Middle East and the Black Sea regions, comparing these with EU relations and priorities. This comparison illustrates the advantages and disadvantages of including Turkey in European security policies and will be essential reading for all those involved in security studies and policy. |
