The volume discusses what the Turkish Model, or Turkish Development
Alternative, was and why it was promoted in the Central Asian
republics immediately following the dissolution of the Soviet
Union. It argues that the Turkish Model was a myth that transferred
the ideal of a ''secular, democratic, liberal society'' as a model
for the post Soviet Turkic world and in the process encouraged a
''Turkic" rhetoric that emphasized connection between the two
regions based on a common ancestry. The volume begins with an
understanding of the reality of the Model from a Turkish
perspective and then goes on to examine whether the Turkic world as
a "cultural-civilizational alternative" makes sense both from a
historical as well as contemporary perspective. It concludes by
looking at the re-emergence of the Model in the wake of the events
in West Asia in early 2011 and examines how in the light of a
search for options the Turkish Model is once again projected as
viable.
