Turkey at the Crossroads by Dietrich Jung
In this book the authors examine Turkey's attempts at modernization, from the Ottomans in the 19th century to the Kemalist Republic and developments since 1945. They look at the challenge to Kemalism posed by Islamism and Kurdish nationalism.
'In the light of Turkey's EU accession process, this book provides a comprehensive and lucidly argued analysis of the political challenges that this country lying between Europe and the Middle East has to faceIn focusing on still visible Ottoman-Turkish continuities, the authors touch on the sore point of Kemalism and present a refreshing interpretation of modern Turkish history.' Udo Steinbach, German Institute for Middle East Studies, Hamburg 'By emphasizing the relevance of Ottoman-Turkish continuities for the current problems of Turkey, and also bridging the gap between international relations and domestic politics, the authors offer an excellent corrective to the conventional analyses of this country. Their rich synthesis and weaving together of historical and social perspectives enable them to address the fundamental questions of Turkish democracy.' Umit Cizre, Bilkent University
