Before long, the voice of the Tunisian youth was heard and found supporters not only in its own country but also in neighboring countries with similar characteristics. The riots spread in waves. The protests which began in Tunisia and later spread to Egypt, Libya, and other Arab countries were referred to as the “Arab Spring,” and the subsequent regime changes they caused in these countries were closely observed in the international community. This multivariable equation was viewed primarily as a political issue in the international arena. That is, until the riots in Syria transformed into clashes. The reverberations of the Arab Spring in Syria gradually manifested themselves as a huge h...
We are delighted to introduce the recent report of USAK Center for American Studies, “Turkey-U.S. Relations: Towards a Multidimensional Partnerhip” that examines Turkey-U.S. relations with regard to key actors in U.S. domestic policy and their perspectives about Turkey, theoretically discusses the regional approaches in Turkey-U.S. relations based on their own dynamics, and finally emphasizes the economic and social dimensions of Turkey-U.S. relations.

In the pre-1971 period, “One China” for Turkey was the Republic of China in Taiwan and the two countries were in cooperation against communist expansion. However, in 1971, though being reluctant for the expulsion of Taiwan from the United Nations, Turkey recognized People’s Republic of China as the sole legal representative of China and pursued the “One China” policy in that respect. Thus, in the post-1971 period, Turkey’s relations with Taiwan have continued only in terms of economy, trade and culture without recognizing it as an independent political unit. Beginning from early 1990s, Turkey began to take initiatives to increase its trade cooperation with Taiwan. However, Turkey should consider its relations with China, while expanding its economic relations with Taiwan. Thus, the economic relations between Turkey and Taiwan may advance further, only if objections of China can be overcome. In this respect, this study has two soul aims. Firstly, all aspects of bilateral relations were examined from 1950s until today. Secondly, policy recommendations for improving bilateral economic relations without leaving Turkey’s “One China” policy aside were suggested.
The Afghanistan report was published by USAK in cooperation with the Istanbul Policy Center at Sabancı University, and sponsored by NATO’s Public Diplomacy Division.
