Literature review

Good day's work today trying to sum up and categorise the existing literature on EU conditionality and look for gaps. It's really got my brain working and generating possible research questions. It is striking how often the conclusions made by authors don't seem to be backed up by any real evidence. In looking for gaps in the literature it's also hard to know if those gaps are there for very good reasons i.e. it's not an interesting gap, or it's too hard to research in that gap.
