Full Description
The Dynamics of Turkish Foreign Policy covers all aspects of Turkish Foreign Policy including the history, main strategic perspectives, contemporary discussions, and future scenarios. It discusses how Turkish Foreign Policy went through a transformation process after the Second World War as Türkiye became a key United States (U.S.) ally and a NATO member. Türkiye stayed a staunch Western ally during the Cold War although there were problems between Ankara and Washington during this era. This book also discusses how and why in the subsequent decades Türkiye and the U.S. had some problems in their bilateral relations and argues that Türkiye has begun to pursue an increasingly multi-dimensional foreign policy in the 21st century. In that sense, it focuses on recent decades and attempts to conceptualize Türkiye's new foreign policy by looking at its international behaviours.
