Kamu diplomasisi, Türkiye açısından yeni bir kavram olmasına rağmen son yıllarda sıklıkla akademik dünyada tartışılmaya başlanmıştır. Ancak henüz Türkiye’nin kamu diplomasisi alanındaki çalışmaları hakkında bütüncül çalışmaların sayıca azlığı bu alandaki teorik ve uygulama açığını göz önüne sermektedir. Bu çalışma, sözü edilen eksikliği gidermek amacıyla Türkiye’nin kamu diplomasisindeki yeni aktörlerini detaylı bir şekilde ele almaktadır. ‘Türk Dış Politikası ve Kamu Diplomasisi’ bu perspektiften bakarak literatüre bir katkı yapmaya ve Türkiye’nin kamu diplomasisi uygulamalarının daha sistematik bir temele oturması için bir perspektif sunmaya çalışmaktadır.
Even before the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, Turkic communities, living in states newly independent from Ottoman rule, were 'protected' by the Ottomans. With the creation of the new Turkish Republic, the notion of 'Outside Turks' became embedded in a new foreign policy which aimed to unite these communities, with whom Kemalist Turkey claimed to share ethnic origin, to the homeland.

An epic historical consideration of the Mongol conquest of Western Asia and the spread of Islam during the years of non-Muslim rule The Mongol conquest of the Islamic world began in the early thirteenth century when Genghis Khan and his warriors overran Central Asia and devastated much of Iran. Distinguished historian Peter Jackson offers a fresh and fascinating consideration of the years of infidel Mongol rule in Western Asia, drawing from an impressive array of primary sources as well as modern studies to demonstrate how Islam not only survived the savagery of the conquest, but spread throughout the empire. This unmatched study goes beyond the well-documented Mongol campaigns of massacre and devastation to explore different aspects of an immense imperial event that encompassed what is now Iran, Iraq, Turkey, and Afghanistan, as well as Central Asia and parts of eastern Europe. It examines in depth the cultural consequences for the incorporated Islamic lands, the Muslim experience of Mongol sovereignty, and the conquerors’ eventual conversion to Islam.
