New Trends in Turkish Foreign Affairs

With The Present Book We Intend To Give An Account Of Turkish Foreign Policy Written By Turkish Scientists And Decision-Makers. Up To Now Countless Treatises On The Foreign Policy Of The Republic Of Turkey Have Been Published Within The Anglo-American Language Area. The Specialized Literature Is Particularly Extensive In The Domain Of Turkish European Policy As Well As On The Europeans Foreign Policy Towards Turkey And On Security And Defense Policy. We Are Primarily Interested In The Self-Perception Of Turkish Decision-Makers And Advisors Who As The Scientific And Bureaucratic Elite Have A Significant Influence On The Conception Of Turkish Foreign Policy. We Are Interested In The Elites Priorities In Shaping The Countrys Foreign Policy. We Hope That Readers Will Be Able To Read The Ideas Hopes And Fears Between The Lines Of The Contributions In Order To Form Ideas For Themselves. We Also Intend To Bring The Turkish Perspective To Sectors Outside The University. Moreover We Intend To Draw An Outline Of Scientific Literature By Means Of Which Readers May Immerse Themselves In The Subject.
