The Incomplete Breakthrough in Greek-Turkish Relations - Grasping Greece's Socialization Strategy (Hardcover)

Drawing on the "balancing-bandwagoning" debate, the "socialization" literature and the "democratic peace" argument Panayotis Tsakonas explores how certain domestic, regional, and systemic reasons led Greece to a u-turn in its policy vis- -vis Turkey and to the adoption of a "strategy of socialization." The book also provides an assessment of Greece's new strategy in terms of successes and failures of its implementation and explores EU's ability to exert its normative effects on Turkey's foreign policy behaviour towards Greece as well as on the Cyprus issue.
