Modern Turkey Book

This book provides a broad and comprehensive overview of contemporary Turkey. Placing the country and its people within the context of a rapidly globalizing world, the book covers a diverse range of themes such as politics, economics, international relations, the Turkic world, religion and recent historical background.

Approaching the study of Turkey from a number of angles, the author situates the country as a 'model' for the wider Muslim world. Chapters focus on:

• Globalization
• Europe and the relationship with the East and the West
• Kemalism
• Turkish foreign policy
• The Kurdish issue
• The Fethullah Gulen movement
• The Turkish economy.

This comprehensive overview of one of the largest and most important states in the Middle East will be an invaluable resource for scholars and officials interested in Turkish politics; students of Balkan, Middle Eastern, Caucasus, and Central Asian regions; and those interested in US foreign and security policies.
