This unique book investigates the complex transformation of
Turkey's foreign policy, focusing on changing threat perceptions
and the reformulation of its Western identity. This transformation
cannot be explained solely in terms of strategic choices or agency
driven policies but encompasses power shifts and systemic
transformations. Is Turkey shifting its axis? Will this affect its
traditional Western-oriented foreign policy? The book begins by
discussing the relationship between security and globalization,
using examples of Turkey's regional positioning. It then focuses on
to what extent the 'traditional' discourse on security in Turkish
politics, which prevailed during the Cold War era and beyond, has
undergone a change in the new era. This timely book is a much
needed account of how pragmatism rather than ideology is the main
determinant in Turkey's current foreign policy and should be read
by all looking for a fresh and stimulating take on Turkey's
response to globalization and the internationalization of security
in the 21st Century.
