The collapse of the Soviet Union and the Soviet bloc had a profound
effect on Turkey economically and politically. On the one hand, the
collapse further marginalized Turkey's position in Western Europe,
as some of the newly liberated Central and Eastern European
countries raced ahead of Turkey to join the European Union. On the
other hand, the collapse presented Turkey with new opportunities
and challenges stemming from geographic proximity and
cultural/historical ties with countries that emerged from the
Soviet bloc and from the former Soviet Union. In articles focusing
on the 1990s and beyond, this book explores how the economic and
political fortunes of Turkey have changed since the end of the Cold
War. Two main sections of the book examine Turkey's relations with
the European Union and with the former Soviet Union and Soviet bloc
countries. Each section opens with a chapter providing an overview
of Turkey's political relationship with the respective region,
followed by chapters that examine facets of the politico-economic
relationships. Located in a potentially volatile portion of the
world, Turkey plays an important role in maintaining peace and
prosperity in its region. The analysis in this volume allows an
understanding of the critical factors that influence the political
economy of Turkey, and therefore, its ability to contribute to
world peace and stability.
