Since its re-emergence as nation-state in 1923, Turkey has often
looked like an odd appendix to the West situated in the borderlands
of Europe and the Middle East, economically backward, inward
looking, marred by political violence, yet a staunch NATO ally, it
has been eyed with suspicion by both 'East' and 'West'. The
momentous changes in the regional and world order after 1989 have
catapulted the country back to the world stage. Ever since, Turkey
has turned into a major power broker and has developed into one the
largest economies in the world. In the process, however, the
country has failed to solve its ethnic, religious and historical
conflicts peacefully. At this historical turning point, Kerem Oktem
charts the contemporary history of Turkey, exploring such key
issues as the relationship between religion and the state, Kurdish
separatism, Turkey's relationship with Israel and the ongoing
controversy over Turkey's entry into the EU. Readable but
comprehensive, this is the definitive book on the country's erratic
transformation from a military dictatorship to a maturing, if still
troubled, democracy.
