First Published in 1985, Turkey and the West critically examines the likely costs and benefits of closer Turkish relations with the West. Turkey is strategically important to the West and yet set apart by its geographical location, political system, and level of economic development. Turkey's political and economic situation, its foreign policy, and all aspects of its relations with the Western world are closely examined in this book. David Barchard also reviews the ways in which those relations might evolve. This book is an important historical document for scholars and researchers of geopolitics, international history, international relations and middle east studies.

Die Ereignisse in Osteuropa und im Kaukasus haben die Berichterstattung über die Türkei in den Hintergrund gedrängt, obwohl gerade die Türkei von den nationalen Konflikten Bulgariens, Armeniens und Aserbeidschans mitbetroffen ist. Nationalismus und das Anwachsen der fundamentalistischen Strömung sind neben dem Vorgehen gegen die Kurden innenpolitisches Konfliktpotential. Außenpolitisch verschärfte sich die Konfrontation mit Griechenland. Die Beziehungen der Türkei zu Europa und die krisenhafte innenpolitische Situation sind Schwerpunkte des Artikels. (DÜI-Gbh)
