Turkish Foreign Policy since 1774

This revised and updated version of William Haleâs Turkish Foreign Policy 1774-2000 offers a comprehensive and analytical survey of Turkish foreign policy since the last quarter of the eighteenth century when the Turksâ relations with the rest of the world entered their most critical phase. In recent years Turkeyâs international role has changed and expanded dramatically and the new edition revisits the chapters and topics covered in light of these changes. Drawing on newly available information and ideas the author carefully alters the earlier historical narrative while preserving the clarity and accessibility of the original. Combining the long historical perspective with a detailed survey and analysis of the most recent developments this book fills a clear gap in the literature on Turkeyâs modern history. For readers with a broader interest in international history it also offers a crucial example of how a medium sized power has acted in the international environment. . Language: English
