About this book
This book analyzes the transformation of Turkey’s international and domestic politics in the past two decades through a comprehensive domestic- international nexus. It examines the domestic system and the main historical challenges without neglecting their international drivers and looks into main foreign policy areas and issues by accounting for the domestic developments that affected them. Looking inside Turkey’s transformation on the basis of an interplay of external and internal factors, through the prism of critical scholars who all agree on the interdependency of national and international politics, it is designed to provide a thoughtful look into the future of Turkey through themes and regions.

Reviews
“Critical Turkish scholars examine the two way flow of influence between domestic institutions and society and international actors ( the EU, international organizations, U.S. , Russia) during the 20 year period of AKP rule. Scholars and policymakers alike will benefit from the detailed analysis of the intermingling of domestic and international factors, too often absent from the literature.”
--Dr. Karen Mingst, Emeritus, University of Kentucky, USA
“This exceptional volume on the complex interplay of domestic politics in Turkey, global dynamics and Turkish foreign policy is very timely as the year 2023 marks the centennial birthday of the Turkish Republic. The editors compiled across-the-board articles on elucidating various aspects of Turkey’s one-hundred years-long local, domestic and international governance processes, principles and outputs from a critical lens.”
--Sinem Akgül-Açıkmeşe, Professor of International Relations, Kadir Has University, Turkey
“This insightful edited volume brings together prominent scholars of Turkish politics to analyse the complex transformation of the political universe of Turkey under the AKP rule. The book takes a comparative approach to Turkish politics and situates the Turkish case in the global political transformations of the same era. It combines domestic and foreign policy debates under a single volume and covers an extensive array of subjects. This is a book anyone seriously interested in the study of Turkish politics should have on their bookshelf.”
--Evren Balta, Professor of International Relations, Özyeğin University, TurkeyEditors and Affiliations
