Turkey's New Geopolitics by Graham Fuller
With the astonishing transformations in the geopolitics of the world since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Turkey has been profoundly affected by the changes on its periphery. For the first time since the beginning of the century, a Turkic world has blossomed, giving Turkey potential new foreign policy clout from the Balkans across the Caucasus and into Central Asia and Western China. These geopolitical opportunities have dramatically changed the character of Turkey itself, once an isolationist, Eurocentered NATO ally. At the same time, Turkey has undergone an internal evolution over the last decade, making it an attractive model of Middle Eastern development because of its increasingly free market, democratic governance, and secularist outlook. This book explores the character of the new Turkey, assessing its foreign policy options and interpreting the significance of those choices for the Middle East, Central Asia, Europe, and the United States.
Graham E. Fuller is a former high-ranking CIA official who spent over four decades living, working, traveling in and writing about the Muslim world. He speaks numerous languages-Russian, Turkish, Arabic and Chinese-and is widely recognized as an insightful, provocative and original thinker on the political culture of the Muslim world and global politics. This clear and lucid analysis of a complex and troubled region offers unconventional conclusions.
