Turkey and the Dilemma of EU Accession: When Religion Meets Politics

Mirela Bogdani analyses the complex range of issues that are influencing the process of Turkey's accession to the EU. She assesses the positions of different European actors towards Turkey's pursuit of EU membership and identifies the reasons for the European opposition, as well as analysing the issues of political Islam, multiculturalism and the compatibility of Islam with democracy.

This book will be an important 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.
