Georgia's volatile risk-taker has gone over the brink
Tarih : 11 Ağu 2008 Yazan : Thomas de Waal*
Georgia's blitzkrieg against one of its two breakaway territories, South Ossetia, is provoking a ferocious Russian response. This is a political as well as a military disaster, says Thomas de Waa[...]
The Caucasus is the kind of place where, when the guns start firing, it's hard to stop them. That is the brutal reality of South Ossetia, where a small conflict is beginning to spread exponentially.
Leave aside the geopolitics for the moment and have pity for the people who will suffer most from this, the citizens - mostly ethnic Ossetians but [devamını oku]
The Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan claims that the AKP government has carried out a more effective foreign policy concept toward the Middle East than the previous governments. According t[...]

One kind of diplomacy is “Public Diplomacy” (also called cultural diplomacy, media diplomacy, public information) which has become popular in the United States over the last decades.
Even though the harmony between Turkey’s political, economical and military power capability, not to mention the [devamını oku]
After 2 decades of fighting with the PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ Party), 35 000 casualties, and the capture of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party leader Abdullah Ocalan in 1999, many Turks thought t[...]
The PKK drama is considered a watershed for Turkey’s young democracy. Turkey has dealt with the outlawed organizations’ claims for Kurdish autonomy in Southeastern Turkey with a heavy-handed policy that produced a mixed legacy and no clear winners. Now that the PKK is back with vengeance, questions arise as to whether a military crackdown on this secessionist movement will produce [devamını oku]
In a sense, no country has tried harder to get out of the Middle East than Turkey--by way of achieving membership in the European Union--yet Turkey does have an important role to play in the region. A[...]
Turkish interests and perceptions
Turkey is still very much the product of the remarkable reforms launched by Kemal Ataturk in the 1920s. He sought a Western-oriented, secular, modernizing state which avoided foreign adventures or territorial claims. The Turkey he sought was one united around Turkish peoplehood, a unitary and highly centralized state.
While some of Ataturk's legacy is very much under challenge [devamını oku]

Literature Review
The Turkish membership process to the European Union has been going on ever since Turkey applied to the EU in 1959, but it has just recently been seriously considered for full membership. There has been many reports and information that has been flooding the news, explaining and analyzing if Turkish membership will be advantageous for the EU or not. [devamını oku]
The geography of the Middle East is subject to direct international interference through the interventions in Afghanistan and Iraq and through political attempts to transform the region socially, poli[...]
Turkey, Syria and Iran are influential actors in Middle Eastern politics. The relations and the cooperation between these states occur at a time when Syria and Iran have been accused by the Bush administration of being antagonists to a peaceful and democratic international system. The ongoing relations between these states, and how these states interact with the international community, is [devamını oku]
The possibility of Turkey joining the European Union has spurred heated debate within the EU, but it is also fascinating the entire Middle East. This interest is a clear signal that Turkey has emerged[...]
In order to prepare for EU accession, Turkey has undertaken vast and serious legal, political, and economic reforms. Turkey's bureaucrats, politicians, and citizens united to fulfill the Copenhagen criteria for EU membership and tolerated the pain of the IMF-directed structural-adjustment programs. The looming accession process will be even more painful, but Turkey's people are firmly resolved to face this challenge.
Turkey's [devamını oku]
As a result of its geography, Turkey maintains a multi-dimensional and dynamic foreign policy. Turkish foreign policymakers are carefully analyzing their foreign policy options in light of the 9/11 at[...]
After Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to Turkey in December of last year, Turkey's prime minister paid a one day official visit to Russia on January 10, 2005. It is relevant to analyze current factors that determine the relations between these two states. Domestic politics in Russia is often the result of competing views of Westerners, anti-Westerners, Eurasianists, ultra-nationalists and [devamını oku]
The concept of Eurasia has occupied an important place in political discussions in Turkey since the beginning of the 90s of the last century. It is perceived as one of the main concepts reflecting Tur[...]
Definitions of Eurasia
The term Eurasia in the political and ideological discourse of contemporary Turkey has rather a politicized interpretation than a scientific definition. Some political scholars and researchers consider Eurasia as a region settled mainly with Turkic peoples, including Turkey, the Balkans and part of the Caucasus, the former Soviet republics of Central Asia, the region of Volga in Russia, [devamını oku]
The Irish have overwhelmingly rejected the Lisbon Treaty. Why isn’t the EU popular with Europeans? And what can the EU do about it? Perhaps popular discontent tells us something more profound ab[...]
The European Union held its breath on 13 June as the Irish voted on last year’s Treaty of Lisbon. Even though Brussels slowed to a standstill in May and June as officials feared doing or saying anything that might antagonise Irish voters, the vote still didn’t go their way. The Irish voted no in large numbers (see “Ireland votes no”) [devamını oku]
