Turkey: The Challenge of a New Role (Washington Papers)

This book examines Turkey's position in the world at the end of the Cold War. An account of Turkey's political history, society, and economy helps determine the degree of credence which should be attached to the claim that Turkey is an island of stability in a troubled area which extends from the borders of the European Community to China. The author describes Turkey's foreign relations with the West, in general, and the European Community, in particular, and also with its Middle Eastern neighbors, Greece, and the ex-communist countries, including the Turkic republics of the former Soviet Union. The emphasis is on Turkey's ability to support western efforts to bring political stability to the region and to enter into partnership with western economic enterprise.Andrew Mango is the author of 'Turkey: The Challenge of a New Role (Washington Papers)', published 1994 under ISBN 9780275949860 and ISBN 0275949869.
