Turkey and Transatlantic Relations

Turkey's position in transatlantic alliances goes back in the 1950s. Turkish Foreign Policy "Fresh Look" was launched just prior to the failed coup d'etat last July, and was intended to mend ties with its neighbors with whom Turkey has strained relationships. Turkey's new pragmatic reconciliation policy strives to build bridges without damaging existing transatlantic alliance. The goal of developing good relations with its neighbors that surround the Mediterranean and the Black sea, presents Turkey with a number of challenges. Turkey is seen as a bridge between West and East due to its geographic location. This volume intends to shed more light into past, present and future Turkey-Transatlantic relations, focusing on a history of Turkey-Transatlantic relations, the impact of current developments in Turkey and its neighbors, and Turkish domestic and foreign policies in Transatlantic relations.
