Why does state building sometimes promote economic growth and in other cases impede it? Through an analysis of political and economic development in four countries—Turkey, Syria, Korea, and Taiwan—this book explores the origins of political-economic institutions and the mechanisms connecting them to economic outcomes.

This book dwells upon the various aspects of the Turkish foreign policy in the different regions of the world, especially with the dawn of the twenty-first century. Turkey has attracted international attention due to a marked transformation in the country’s domestic and external realms, which in turn, has led to an increased activism in its foreign policy actions. Particularly, Turkey’s economic rise has fuelled the country’s ambition and quest for a more significant role in international affairs. These transformations have come about with the ascendance of the Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi (AKP) [or Justice & Development Party (JDP)] to power in 2002. Turkey, under the AKP, moved towards a ‘new’ direction in the foreign policy and consequently endeavoured to play a larger role in West Asia (Middle East), the Balkans, southern Mediterranean, the Caucasus, Central Asia, Africa and Asia. The country has emerged as a multi-regional player having stakes and tractions on a range of issues in these regions. The several discernible aspects of Turkey’s involvement are dealt with in the contributions to this volume.

Etnik kimlik konusu ülkeleri Soğuk Savaş sonrası en çok ilgilendiren konulardan birisi olmuştur. Türkiye içinde Kürt sorunu da Kürtlerin sınır aşan nüfus özellikleri, PKK terörünün komşu ülkeler ve Batı’dan gördüğü doğrudan ya da dolaylı destek ve Kuzey Irak’taki gelişmelerle demokrasi, insan hakları ve azınlıkların korunması gibi yükselen değerlerin etkisiyle, Türkiye için önemli bir dış politika sorunu haline gelmiştir.
