Turkey is both an old and a new country. While the Turks have been
living in Anatolia for the last millennium, the country has gone
through extensive Westernization since the end of the 18th century.
However, in the case of Turkey, tradition has not arrested
modernization; rather, the traditional has adapted itself to the
modern. The revival of Islam and the emergence of certain ethnic
identities during the recent decades have not led to the reversal
of progress in the economy and democracy. There is a thriving
private sector, and the economy continues to grow. At the turn of
the 21st century, Turkey is the only Muslim country with a
democratic political system. Although Turkey belongs to both the
West and the East, its Western credentials are more marked. It is a
member of the Council of Europe, North Atlantic Treaty Organization
(NATO), and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD), and it is presently carrying out negotiations with the
European Union (EU) for accession to that Union as a full member.
The A to Z of Turkey explores the history of this fascinating
country through a chronology, an introductory essay, a
bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries
on important persons, places, events, and institutions, as well as
on significant political, economic, social, and cultural aspects.
