About this book

Mufti argues that Turkey's security policy is dominated by an insular and risk-averse 'Republican' strategic culture paradigm, that this paradigm has fallen into crisis, bringing some of its core elements in conflict with others, and that this crisis has permitted the reassertion of a more cosmopolitan and risk-taking 'Imperial' counter-paradigm.

Reviews

'...a valuable source of information on Turkish foreign and security policy both for students of international relations and scholars who are interested in this topic...This book is recommended especially to those who are interested in learning about the most important events as well as actors in the Turkish foreign and security policy-making process in the last century, starting with the very last years of the Ottoman Empire, from a different and critical scholarly perspective based on a broad literature and sometimes first-hand experience.' -Insight Turkey
