This book explores both the history and current diplomatic and foreign policy challenges in Turkish-French relations. By critically analyzing Turkish and French government and archival documents, as well as other primary sources, it reviews the evolution of Turkish-French relations and offers a better understanding of various diplomatic issues, foreign policy decisions, and geopolitical questions. Furthermore, it sheds new light on the significance of domestic political demands for foreign policy decisions and the importance of mutual perceptions in shaping the two countries’ relations.

This book offers an analysis of Turkish foreign policy based on transnational(ist) perspectives. In order to counterbalance the state-centric accounts that dominate this area of study, the authors provide theoretical frameworks as well as historical and contemporary case studies that emphasize transnational dynamics. The content is divided into four complementary sections that explain and exemplify transnational (f)actors in the context of Turkish foreign policy. The first addresses theoretical and ideational frameworks that illustrate the relevance of a transnational account, while the second demonstrates the possibility of developing transnationally oriented approaches even in historical cases, going beyond a presentist focus. In the third and fourth sections, the book focuses on two prominent non-state actors, namely diaspora communities and non-governmental organizations, which operate at the interstices of the domestic and the international. This allows the authors to highlight the significance of transnational dynamics in Turkey’s foreign policy.
This edited book analyzes Kosovo’s foreign policy and bilateral relations with the United States and several European countries. After the 1999 liberation from Serbia, Kosovo built close relations with various countries that supported it in the process of reconstruction, economic stabilization, institution-building, and state-building. From 1999 to 2008, many of these states were politically and operationally engaged in Kosovo under the leadership of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and of the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). Since its independence in 2008, the Republic of Kosovo has adopted a foreign policy in accordance with its values and str...
This volume, with contributions from well-respected experts on Turkey, examines how well different theories and frameworks in international relations explain various aspects of contemporary Turkish foreign policy (TFP). Exploring the value of both structural (neorealist) and ideational (constructivist) approaches, the book’s theory-informed case studies on the features of TFP including Neo-Ottomanism; the role of religion; and Turkey’s relations with the European Union, the Middle East, Russia, and the United States, provide an analytical perspective on developments that have captured the attention of both academics and policymakers. More importantly, this collection examines the shift in Turkey’s foreign policy stance from Western and secular (non-sectarian) to Islamist, Turkist, Neo-Ottomanist and Eurasianist orientations. With Turkey assuming importance across a number of regions and issues, this book will be a great resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of Middle East Studies, and Politics and International Relations. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal, Turkish Studies.
Depuis le début du siècle, grâce à son dynamisme économique et son volontarisme politique, la Turquie est parvenue à se positionner en acteur majeur du système international d'une part, en puissance régionale de l'autre. Le feuilleton, mais aussi le film turc, témoignent du succès de son soft power : ils pénètrent l'imaginaire du public, diffusent une certaine idée du pays et constituent par là un vecteur d'influence.

Polarisation politique, manquements démocratiques, turbulences économiques, crispations identitaires, question kurde, blocage européen... La Turquie se trouve régulièrement au centre de l'actualité internationale et fait fréquemment l'objet de jug
Du Discours du Caire, adressé en 2009 par Barack Obama à un " monde musulman " dont il présupposait l'unité, à la prolifération des " dialogues interreligieux pour la paix ", la religion apparaît aujourd'hui comme centrale dans les relations internationales. Cette perception débouche sur des initiatives politiques présentées comme autant d'antidotes face aux troubles attribués au " retour du religieux " dans l'espace mondial. Pourtant, contrairement à ce que laisse entendre le mythe d'un système international sécularisé, les dieux n'ont jamais cessé d'être mêlés aux affaires du monde. En Europe même, où la souveraineté de l'État s'est formée contre l'autorité de l'É...
