For the last seventy years, experts have tried to define the nature
of Turkey’s partnership with the US. While Turkish-US relations
have always been susceptible to different crises, they enjoyed a
brief “golden era” in the 1950s. This book argues that a false
nostalgia about that period - when the strategic interests of two
countries fully converged - has distorted analyses by scholars and
policymakers ever since. To provide a more accurate assessment,
this book look at the patterns of crises between the two countries
throughout history and how these relate to the current points of
tension in Turkish-American relations today. It coins a new
conceptual framework to understand the Turkey-US partnership: the
“vulnerable partnership”. The book outlines the key causes of
this vulnerability, showing that for the last 70 years, there have
been recurring frictions and faultlines that have been repeated
across different political periods. These especially involve the US
congress, public opinion, Russia, and crises in the Middle East.
Based on journalistic, archival and scholarly sources, the topic of
the book is at the intersection foreign policy studies, Middle East
politics, the history of Turkish-American relations, and foreign
policy making.
