Once characterized by an avoidance of foreign entanglements, Turkey's diplomacy has changed dramatically in the present era of regional agreements and organizations. Tracing the evolution of that change, this comprehensive study explores the country's new international posture. The authors assess Turkey's policy toward Europe, Russia, Central Asia, and the U.S., as well as its growing role within the Middle East region. They also address in depth the critical issues of economic, energy, and water policy. Their discussion of the interest groups and institutions affecting the policymaking process and the challenges facing the country's rapidly urbanizing and industrializing economy contribute to the picture of a complex, dynamic nation.
