Offering a unique analysis of this relationship, Lucia Najslova approaches the issue through an interdisciplinary ethnographic lens and in so doing moves the discussion away from the formal diplomatic developments and towards an understanding of the issues of belonging that underpin the relationship. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book explores multiple sites of EU-Turkey diplomacy including the 2016 refugee deal and the disputes around Northern Cyprus, offering analysis through theoretical frameworks on temporality, belonging and sovereignty. The study connects to debates on Turkish modernity and nation-building as well as debates about the future of the European Union and will be of interests to scholars of Area Studies, International Relations, Sociology and Migration Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“\u003cb\u003eLucia Najslova's book skilfully connects common understandings about what went wrong in the EU-Turkey relationship and the nuances of how this is perceived in various European quarters. It takes the reader on a journey, from \"civil society dialogues\"  to Czech science fiction series, providing a refreshing outlook on the subject and a must read for all those interested in understanding what is an will remain one of the cardinal relationships in the broader European space.\u003c\/b\u003e” —\u003ci\u003eNathalie Tocci, Director of the Istituto Affari Internazionali, Italy.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“\u003ci\u003eTurkey and the European Union\u003c\/i\u003e provides a brilliant perspective to our understanding, or better, misunderstanding of Turkey-EU relations especially during a period when 'Turkey's membership is not realistic' dictates the exchanges on the relationship. As Najšlová rightfully states, Turkey is there on the map and the option of Turkey not to be anything - either a member or a partner - cannot be a part of the scenario.” —\u003ci\u003eDeniz S.

The framing of the analysis by politics of exclusion gives the book an additional twist. It suddenly makes the book relevant not only for those scholars dealing with Turkey or European integration, but more generally for everyone who is interested in inequality and exclusion in the study of global politics.” —\u003ci\u003ePetr Kratochvíl, Institute of International Relations Prague, Czech Republic\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781838602666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"I.B.
