There are a number of factors that elevate Turkey's status in the
international arena and make it an important regional actor. As a
longstanding member of the western world, a candidate country to
the European Union, a "staunch" ally of the United States, and a
frontline state in the fight against terrorism, Turkey plays a key,
yet often overlooked role, in world affairs. Proper understanding
of how decisions regarding foreign and security issues are being
taken within the state apparatus in Turkey is crucially important,
especially when "unexpected" developments take place. Mustafa and
Aysegul Kibaroglu examine the issues that drive Turkish foreign
policy decisions in this crucial region. This reference work
chronicles the factors which have shaped the mindsets of the makers
of Turkey's foreign and security policies from the foundation of
the Republic in 1923. The authors provide not only meaningful
explanations of past events, but also useful insights into current
issues at the center of Turkish regional and foreign policies. The
authors provide not only meaninful explanations of past events, but
also useful insigts into the current issues at the center of
Turkish regional and foreign policies. The authors provide a
concise overview of Turkish foreign policy and assess the position
of the nation within the context of the war on terror,
globalization, and more. Their narrative is supplemented by
biographies of key decision makers, policies, and documents that
illustrate the choices that comprise Turkey's past and present.
