About this book

How do state institutions reform themselves in the face of outside pressures? This study undertakes an in-depth analysis of the institutional and human rights reform process within the Turkish National Police, which faces pressure from the EU as part of Turkey's EU membership process, and examines the challenges and consequences of the process.

Reviews

"Relying on a variety of evidence gathered through field research in Turkey, Leila Piran weaves a compelling narrative about the Turkish National Police and the domestic and international political forces which lead to change and continuity in this understudied institution. Her work will be of great value to scholars and policymakers interested not only in Turkish national politics and its relationship to the European Union, but to anyone interested in exploring issues at the intersection of security and democracy." - Andrew Yeo, Catholic University of America
