However, in the last few years, U.S.-Turkish relations have seriously deteriorated, and today they are badly in need of repair. The arrival of a new administration in Washington presents an important opportunity to put Washington's relations with Ankara on a firmer footing. Turkey plays a critical role in four areas of increasing strategic importance to the United States: the Balkans, Central Asia and the Caucasus, the Middle East, and the Persian Gulf. In each of these areas, Ankara's cooperation is vital to achieving U.S. policy objectives.Rand Corporation monograph series.National securityUnited StatesNational securityTurkeyWorld politics1989-GeopoliticsUnited StatesForeign relationsTurkeyTurkeyForeign relationsUnited StatesUnited StatesMilitary relationsTurkeyTurkeyMilitary relationsUnited StatesTurkeyStrategic aspectsNational securityNational securityWorld politicsGeopolitics.327.730561Larrabee F.
