Produktbeschreibung

This book covers selected topics on contemporary Turkish Foreign Policy to understand and critically analyze the ideas, discourses, actors, processes and structures in the foreign policymaking. It provides the readers with a compilation of chapters on the critical analysis of Turkey's changing positionality and foreign policy identity. In doing so, it draws on the tools and perspectives offered by the critical theories and approaches in International Relations and relevant disciplines. Most of the chapters included in this project deal with the dramatic metamorphoses that took place in Turkish Foreign Policy during the period when the Justice and Development Party ruled and their ongoing consequences.

Rezensionen

"Critical Readings of Turkey's Foreign Policy is certainly the fruit of a wellthought through and diligently executed project by its editors, Birsen Erdogan and Fulya Hisarlioglu, and contributors. Bringing together a variety of critical approaches, bridging different research methodologies, and theoretical frameworks, this book is a timely addition to the International Relations (ir) discipline in Turkey and beyond." (Zeynep Alemdar, European Review of International Studies ERIS, Issue 10, 2023)
