Humanitarian Intervention and the Responsibility to Protect
This book offers a discursive analysis of the Turkish Foreign Policy on Humanitarian Interventions (HI) and the doctrine of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P). Across the chapters the author addresses important questions, such as: what is the position of the HI and R2P in the Turkish foreign policy discourse? Is there any variation between cases when it comes to the use of these concepts? How do these discourses shape/change/transform or sustain the Turkish identity? Despite the tendency in some countries to incorporate HI and R2P principles into their foreign policy (UK, Netherlands, Canada, Japan), and the fact that some countries are lobbying to make these principles a part of internatio...
Critical Readings of Turkey’s Foreign Policy
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.
Erdogan's Path to Authoritarianism
Michael M. Gunter explains why Recep Tayyip Erdogan—the current populist, charismatic, but divisive president of Turkey and arguably the most consequential Turkish leader since Kemal Ataturk—was again reelected in May 2023 despite so many negative factors working against him such as a terribly faltering economy, deadly earthquake, and authoritarian reputation, among others. Gunter analyzes how several different domestic and especially foreign initiatives contributed to his continuing electoral success. Gunter introduces succinctly Erdogan’s storied advancement to authoritarianism, how, although an Islamist, he triumphed by eventually humbling the long-ruling, secular Kemalists and even...
Conflict Areas in the Balkans
The situation in the Balkans, such as the solution to the status of Kosovo, is currently the largest international political problem in Europe, with the potential to burst into a world crisis regarding the Eastern - Western relations. On the other hand, a successful solution to the problem in the Balkans could serve as a model for solving the Muslim - Christian tensions elsewhere in the world. It is the intention of this book to contribute proposals for solutions to the problems of Balkans. The starting principle for the solutions to be effective is that they should come in a natural way from the people below and should not be enforced by the political elites from above. Based on self-determination of nations as a starting principle, they should encourage intra-regional cooperation among the regional entities (economic, cultural, sport, as a basis for political, social understanding and cooperation); secondly, accelerate their economic, political and social development and thirdly, as a final step enable the inclusion of the Balkan countries into the European Union.
A Century of Greek–Turkish Relations A Handbook
“A Century of Greek-Turkish Relations is an important handbook written by leading authorities from both shores of the Aegean Sea. Greek and Turkish scholars present in a balanced and objective way, as well as in a graspable and meaningful manner, the main periods in which key events brought the two sides into dispute or even conflict. These events, which are integrated in parallel and conflicting national narratives, fuel the historicity of the two national rivals. A century since the end of the Greek-Turkish war, the trauma of the Greek military defeat and the “disaster of the Asia Minor Greeks”, the establishment of the Republic of Turkey and the emblematic Treaty of Lausanne, render...

Enver Hoca Dönemi ARNAVUTLUK (1945-1985)
Soğuk Savaş Dönemi'nde Arnavutluk'un lideri olan Enver Hoca yalnız Balkanlar'da değil tüm dünyada farklı yönleriyle gündeme gelmiştir. İktidara geldikten sonra 40 yıl süreyle aralıksız olarak Arnavutluk'ta diktatörlük konumunu korumuştur. Yapılan incelemede Arnavut halkının bir kısmı, onu hâlâ Arnavutların ulusal lideri İskender Bey'den sonra büyük bir kişi olarak görmekte iken diğer bir kısmı ise onu bir vatan haini ve Arnavutluk'un modernleşme yolunda en büyük engeli olduğuna inandığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca onun Arnavutluk'u bir “kapalı kutu” hâline nasıl getirdiği de bu incelemede ortaya çıkarılmaya çalışılmıştır. Enver Hoca, ...
Başka Kentler, Başka Denizler 3
Murat Belge, Başka Kentler, Başka Denizler’in 3. cildinde okuyucusuyla birlikte çıktığı seyahate kaldığı yerden devam ediyor. Önceki ciltlerde olduğu gibi bu ciltte de dünyanın dört bir yanına yaptığı seyahatlerden arda kalanları, aynı hoşsohbet üslubu ve incelikli kalemi aracılığıyla paylaşıyor; bir yandan anlatıyor, bir yandan gezdiriyor. Bu seyahatlerin ilk başladığı durağa, Hollanda’ya uğradıktan sonra bu cildin “başrol” payesinin tartışmasız sahibi İtalya’ya seğirtiyor. “Seyyah”ın dediği gibi: “neresine gidersen git, kendini güzel ve ilginç, ayrıca da sıcak ve sevimli bir yerde” bulabileceğin cinsten bir memleket. Rotam...
Turkish-Qatari Relations
This book examines domestic and regional geopolitical dynamics behind Turkish-Qatari relations from the past to the present. Utilizing arguments of practical geopolitical reasoning, Özgür Pala and Khaled Al-Jaber situate their analysis of evolving relations in the contexts of Ottoman-British geopolitical rivalry in the Persian Gulf, the Turkish Republic’s fluctuating relations with the Middle East until the 2000s, the AKP governments’ opening to the region and finally the Arab Spring and its aftermath. Contextualizing the trajectory of Turkish-Qatari relations within the larger Middle East and the Gulf Arab region, the authors argue that material interests and identity politics have ge...
The EU-German-Turkish Triangle
Um eine solide Bewertung der Beziehungen zwischen der EU und der Türkei und ihrer Zukunftsaussichten zu ermöglichen, konzentriert sich dieser Band auf die Dreiecksbeziehung zwischen dem Block und der Türkei einerseits und den bilateralen Beziehungen zwischen Deutschland und der Türkei andererseits. Auf der Grundlage des historischen Institutionalismus geht er von der Annahme aus, dass eine grundlegende Umstrukturierung der Beziehungen zwischen der EU und der Türkei "kritische Wendepunkte" erfordert, die einen "Paradigmenwechsel" nach sich ziehen. Es wird der politische Diskurs über die Beziehungen zwischen der EU und der Türkei dekonstruiert, um die wichtigsten Wahrnehmungen und Narra...
