#x1C;Like no other text available today, K#xF6;sebalaban#x19;sTurkish Foreign Policydeftly explains the interplay between ideology, history, and identity in shaping the global conduct of this rising power. A most reliable guide to navigating the complex terrain of Turkey#x19;s emerging post-Kemalist foreign policy.#x1D;--Peter Mandaville, George Mason University, author ofGlobal Political Islam #x1C;By bringing in ideology and identity, K#xF6;sebalaban introduces a refreshing perspective to understand the past and present of Turkish foreign policy and liberates it from the domination of geo-politics and realpolitik. Bridging the gap between the #x18;inside#x19; and the #x18;outside,#x19; this book provides a comprehensive picture of Turkey#x19;s foreign affairs in the context of globalization.#x1D;--Ihsan Dagi, Middle East Technical University and Editor-in-Chief ofInsight Turkey #x1C;This book provides an in-depth analysis of the sources, attributes, achievements, and challenges of Turkish foreign policy from a much-needed perspective--one that situates foreign policy at the intersection of not just international but national struggles for democracy and identity. At a time when the direction and motives of Turkish foreign policy have gained new prominence, K#xF6;sebalaban#x19;s book is an extremely timely and important reminder of how little scholarly literature has focused on Turkey#x19;s domestic conflicts and debates on ideology, power, identity, religion, and militarism as the game-changers of foreign policy. This is a must-read book for scholars, researchers, students, political strategists, policy-makers, and anyone who has felt that domestic variables have largely been amiss, glossed over, or understudied in the academic treatment of foreign policy process of Turkey.#x1D;--Umit Cizre, Istanbul Sehir University, Turkey, and editor ofSecular and Islamic Politics in Turkey: The Making of the Justice and Development Party.
