Provoked by the conflicts at domestic level, the current setbacks in  Europeanization processes of several countries (here is Turkey and  Serbia), however, put a query on the effectiveness of conditionality  strategy. This study seeks to answer a highly related question to this  debate: Does candidate status matters? And to what extent it  matters? Unpacking the relationship between the Europeanization  and the conditionality, the author argues that it is less the  candidate\/membership status per se that matters but rather  unfavourable domestic factors that account for the limited impact of  transformative power of EU and for low level of compliance in Turkey  and Serbia. The empirical analysis of two cases reveals that credible  accession conditionality is only a necessary but not a sufficient  condition of EU success in promoting the reform  process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838388335\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUnpacking the Relationship between Europeanization and Conditionality in Turkey and Serbia\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838388335","offer_id":39499095343197,"sku":"9783838388335","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/908e0350-d212-44ef-8cb6-d70496472c0c.jpg?v=1757741025","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/does-candidate-status-matter-von-digdem-soyaltin","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
