Turkey's Foreign Policy Narratives (eBook, PDF)

Implications of Global Power Shifts

Beschreibung

This book offers a comprehensive account of Turkey's foreign policy narratives in a period of global power shifts. By examining international and national historical processes, the author highlights narrative processes and traditions that describe Turkey and its position in world politics. He also analyzes how global power shifts, such as the rise of China, affect Turkey's increasingly active and confusing foreign policy and the narratives associated with it. The book covers topics such as Kemalist modernization, Islamic conservative views of the New World Order, Turkey's relations with non-Western countries such as Russia and China, and Turkish narratives of the Syrian war and the COVID-19-pandemic. It is intended for scholars of international relations and European and Middle Eastern politics, and appeals to anyone interested in Turkish history and politics.

Rezensionen

"The book investigates the representation of competing ideological traditions and expressions of national identity ... and how they interact with a changing international order. ... Its methodological rigour and interdisciplinary approach make it an essential reading for scholars and practitioners working in International Relations, Middle East politics and Turkish history and politics. In general, it has the potential to provide a much-needed context for Turkey's increasingly active and erratic foreign policy in the age of a global power shift." (Samuele Carlo Ayrton Abrami, The International Spectator, May 31, 2024)

"The book is addressed to anyone interested and working in International Relations, Middle East politics, Turkish history, and politics. It deserves positive comments in many ways. First of all, it should be noted that the content is very well constructed. The theoretical background, the historical process analysis, and discussions on the subject are well distributed in the sections." (Fatma Çakir, Insight Turkey, Vol. 25 (3), 2023)
