International Socialization in Europe European Organizations, Political Conditionality and Democratic Change

"This book explains the uneven international socialization in Europe. It examines the strategies of the EU, NATO and other European organizations and the conditions under which they have been able to generate compliance with international norms of democracy, human rights, minority protection and state-building. Detailed comparative case studies of Belarus, Yugoslavia, Turkey, Slovakia, Romania, Estonia, Latvia, Cyprus and Montenegro demonstrate the relevance of credible EU (and NATO) membership conditionality and domestic power costs of the target governments."--BOOK JACKET.
