4.9/5 (33064 ratings)

Description:This book is conceived as a spin-off of activities and research developed within the PhD program in Cooperation for Peace and Development at the University for Foreigners of Perugia. The academic program has given rise to a wide range of opportunities for several researchers, international experts and scholars. The two most important events were a conference entitled “Wars at the borders of the Europe: uncertainties and perspective in the Mediterranean”, organized in October 2013, and a special session devoted to Turkish foreign policy during the Annual Conference of the Italian Society of Political Science, held in September 2014.A whole section looking at Turkey’s foreign policy was the main focus of the conference. The idea to gain a clearer picture of the ‘geopolitical depth’ of Turkish foreign policy emerged during these two con- ferences, and inspired the composition of this book. After decades of neutralist foreign policy, and retracing the ancient history of the Ottoman Empire, over the past years Ankara, under the rule of the AK Party, has started an assertive and emphatic approach modifying its internatio- nal agenda. Turkish action in its extended neighborhood followed the architecture of the ‘strategic depth’ doctrine outlined by the current prime minister Davutoğlu. This doctrine was based on the so called ‘zero-problems with neighbors’ approach and was strengthened by the AK Party’s dominance in the Turkish political system. But the idea of ‘geopolitical depth’ finds its roots in a more complex process of re-imagination of the state as a central power in the age of globalization. This book aims to illustrate the types of ap- proaches Turkey has followed to expand its action in the last decades. The five chapters have been organized following a non-standard geopolitical analysis, and considering some relevant case-studies. The first chapter, written by Bahri Yılmaz, constitutes a general introduction to a still challenging and debated argument, i.e. the comprehension of Turkish foreign policy in the Middle East, or Turkey as a model to be followed by the others countries, investigating Turkish-EU relations. The second chapter, edited by Emidio Diodato, addresses the decisive question about the ‘zero-problems with neighbors’ doctrine, i.e. whether it was a success ora failure. The following chapters, written by Alessia Chiriatti, Salih Doğan and Federico Donelli, contain analysis of specific case-studies, concerning with the bilateral or trilateral relations between Turkey, Georgia, Syria, Afghanistan, and Somalia. These case-studies have been debated throughout a regional perspective, focusing also on the role of Turkish non-state actors. Moreover, the states chosen to illustrate the Turkish action in the extended neighborhood have some characteristics in common, even if they are totally different among them. These countries have been faced with dramatic crises and wars that have destabilized their internal and regional equilibrium, thus requiring an external support that Turkey has tried to give, with obvious consequences on its geopolitical engagement.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
