Turkish multi-directionality and multidimensionality have been tested by these occurrences, demonstrating that what some scholars and experts had defined as a "model" contained failures as well as success. This book examines these dynamics through case studies of the humanitarian, cultural, economic and political dimensions of Turkey's role in a diffuse neighbourhood, in which the country has tried to exert its power in recent decades. Starting from the questions that the Cold War and the arrival of the AKP in government have opened for Ankara, the volume illustrates two of the most important sides of the Turkish strategic repositioning in the international system. The first part is focused on the main humanitarian and political struggles in contemporary Turkish society, while the second explores the main fault-lines in Turkey's regional policy and the development of the country's foreign policy. As such, the book represents a valuable resource for both graduate and undergraduate students, academics and researchers in the areas of Turkish studies, foreign policy, regional politics, Middle Eastern studies, security, political economy and European studies as well as for the general public. 607 $aTurkey$xPolitics and government$y21st century 607 $aTurkey$xForeign relations$y21st century 607 $aTurkey$xBoundaries 676 $a956.103 701 $aChiriatti$b Alessio$01748894 701 $aTufekci$b Ozgur$01748895 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815785803321 996 $aDomestic and Regional Uncertainties in the New Turkey$94182405 997 $aUNINA
