Reviews
“In this richly detailed text, Mehmet Akıf Kumral argues that the dynamics of regional cooperation and non-cooperation are not exhausted or fully explained by looking at material factors or ideational perceptions. Concentrating on relations between Turkey and Iraq over the past century, he shows how different rhetorical deployments, and the operative ontologies that they instantiate, combine and concatenate to generate a complex pattern of partial cooperation, in which logics of identity and interest overlap in sometimes surprising ways. The book illustrates the insights to be gained by focusing on the sense that situated actors make of complex situations.” (Patrick Thaddeus Jackson, Professor of International Studies and Associate Dean for Curriculum and Learning, School of International Service, American University, Washington, DC, USA)
„This book with its conceptual and methodological rigor as well as its empirical richness contributes significantly to the study of Turkey’s foreign policy. Dr. Kumral has done a superb job of explaining complexities and dilemmas of Turkey’s relations with Iraq since the 1930s.” (Meliha Benli Altunışık, Professor of International Relations, Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey)
“Mehmet Akif Kumral’s work presents a long-term treatment of Turkish-Iraqi relations that does not have a comparable approach in the extant literature. This book will have a long shelf-life, as it discusses five different important episodes since 1920s.” (Güneş Murat Tezcür, Jalal Talabani Endowed Chair of Kurdish Political Studies, University of Central Florida)
