Description:
Turkey's Political Evolution, Turkish-US Relations and Prospects
for the 21st. Century
Considering the prominent role Turkey has played in Free
World security strategy since 1947 and the significance of the
Turkish experience for developing countries, the evolution of
modern Turkey is less well understood the world than it should
be. The systematic progress of the Turkish Republic toward mo-
dern, democratic nationhood is in many ways unique. With the
collapse of the Soviet Union, Turkey became a mentor and
model for its successor states. This monograph is an attempt to
tell in relatively brief form how the Turkish Republic was created,
to evaluate its history, especially its close and mutually beneficial
relationship with the United States, and to look ahead into the
21st century.
This book recounts how the Turkish Republic came into being,
primarily as a result of the vision and determination of one of the
most remarkable leaders of the 20th century, Mustafa Kemal
Ataturk. The second chapter goes back into history and traces
the evolution of relations between the United States and the
Ottoman Empire from the earliest period of the American Repu-
blic through World War I, the Atatrk era, and World War II.
Chapter three describes the evolution to multi-party democracy
and Turkey's incorporation into the Western defense system, with
resultant gains, strains, frustrations, economic progress and
advances in democracy into the 1970s. The fourth chapter
describes the course of the crisis in Turkish-American relations
that came to a head in the mid-1970s. The fifth chapter deals
with the difficulties Turkey fell into as its democratic system
became deadlocked while the country became the target of a
massive Soviet-supported destabilization effort. The longest
section of the monograph is devoted to the Ozal Era because
Ozal's impact has been greater and more fundamental than that
of any Turkish leader since Ataturk.
