Sommario/riassunto

Discourse, Identity and the Question of Turkish Accession to the EU: Through the Looking Glass provides an invaluable analysis of the issues of Turkish accession to the EU from an identity perspective. The focus on elite discourse offers a unique understanding of the competing arguments regarding Turkey's accession process and the differing visions of the EU which underlie them whilst providing a new and engaging approach to this contentious topic.
