Abstract
This article systematically examines the EU’s demands on Turkey in order to qualify for EU membership. It examines the underlying motives on the part of EU states as well as Turkish perceptions and responses regarding each point. Finally, it considers how both sides could work to modify the conditions and to implement them more effectively.
