About this book

This volume summarizes, synthesizes, updates, and contextualizes Turkey’s multiple roles in global governance. As a result of various political, economic, cultural and technological changes occurring in the international system, the need for an effective and appropriate global governance is unfolding. In such an environment, Turkey’s and other rising/middle powers’ initiatives appear to be indispensable for rendering the existing global governance mechanisms more functional and effective. The authors contribute to the assessment of changing global governance practices of secondary and/or middle power states with a special focus on Turkey’s multiple roles and issue-based global governance policies.

Reviews

“This is a timely book which adapts the middle-powers concept to a changing world by demonstrating the new opportunities opening up to emerging middle powers, along with the challenges they face. It highlights the tensions between the overlapping global and regional roles and strategies of middle powers. Within this framework the book contributes to a better understanding of the foreign policy of Turkey as an imperfect middle power.” (Detlef Nolte, GIGA German Institute of Global and Area Studies, Germany)

“Professor Emel Parlar Dal has provided an insightful and timely contribution to the study of Turkey’s evolving role in the global system. With its innovative use of conceptual modes of analysis and rich detail on specific issue areas, this book deserves a wide readership and deep attention.” (Andrew F. Cooper, Professor, Balsillie School of International Affairs and Department of Political Science, University of Waterloo, Canada, and Associate Research Fellow, UNU-CRIS (Instituteon Comparative Regional Integration), Belgium)

“This is a timely and important book. The collection's various in-depth studies of Turkey's foreign relations are valuable, but of even more significance is the book's attempt to get at the broader issue of the increasingly fraught relations between emerging middle powers and the West. The book is a must for students of middle powers, global governance, and the foreign policies of developing countries.” (Eduard Jordaan, Senior Lecturer, Department of Political and International Studies, Rhodes University, South Africa)
