Couverture / Jaquette

"Turkey is preparing for a future that is less dependent on its Western treaty allies with an alliance structure of its own. This book focuses on the new relations being built with fellow revisionists like China and Russia, Turkey's involvement in the wars in Syria and Ukraine, and Erdogan's grand strategy. The book de-exceptionalizes Turkish politics by showing how Turkey relates to the broader global trend of far-right nationalist movements. It is based on interviews with politicians from across the country's political spectrum in addition to the author's intimate knowledge of the country's far-right and Islamist traditions"--
