Wednesday, December 5, 2012 | Download PDF in English

This issue of Turkish Policy Quarterly (TPQ) focuses on the rapid and fundamental change in the strategic map of the Middle East. In addition to examining the rise of people power and geopolitical shifts in the region, we look at energy security dynamics, Turkey’s foreign policy priorities and its ever-evolving relations within the Euro-Atlantic alliance. The arc of NATO’s role in the region, topical developments of the “Arab uprisings,” and questioning whether the “rest” can be empowered without threatening the West form this volume’s content.
