An analysis of Turkey’s engagement with international political economy from a global perspective
While there has been a huge expansion of the literature on Turkish political economy and foreign policy in the last decade or so, fewer studies have explored Turkey’s engagement with the changing global political economy since 2008 in a holistic manner. Against the backdrop of the debates on the ‘rise of the Global South’ and the crisis and decline of the US-led Liberal International Order, this book interrogates Turkey’s ambitions to increase its regional and global economic, political, and military ‘footprint’ and the limitations thereof. The volume explores Turkey’s economic and political relations with diverse regions and countries, ranging from Latin America to sub-Saharan Africa, post-Brexit Britain to Iran, as well as rising powers India and China. Drawing upon various critical IPE/IR approaches, the book offers a critical perspective, challenging conventional accounts which tend to draw upon and reproduce rigid dichotomies.
Turkey and the Global Political Economy offers a theoretically informed and empirically rich analysis of Turkey's rise, dynamics, and future trajectory within the neoliberal world order. This comprehensive volume covers Turkey’s political economy, foreign relations, and geopolitical projects, making it an invaluable resource for researchers, activists, and policymakers alike. * Dr. Kamran Matin, Senior Lecturer in International Relations, University of Sussex, UK *
Perhaps the best collection of essays on contemporary Turkey written by a most alert group of critical scholars * Vassilis Fouskas, Professor of International Relations, University of East London, UK *
By transcending the compartmentalization between political economy and foreign policy, incorporating class analysis and seriously engaging with core-periphery-semiperiphery relations, Turkey and the Global Political Economy significantly diverges from conventional approaches to Turkey’s foreign relations. Offering a diverse array of historical materialist perspectives, this edited volume is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the continuities and changes in Turkey’s global role and position in an era marked by the crisis of the world economy and neoliberalism, the relative decline of U.S. hegemony and rising geopolitical rivalries. * Burak Gürel, Koç University, Turkey *
Turkey and the Global Political Economy critically examines Turkey's growing influence and geographical reach in the global political economy in light of the shifting dynamics of global power structures. This edited collection is highly relevant and deserves a wide readership. It is a penetrating study of Turkey's emergence as a significant but complex economic power since the late 1990s. * Professor Bulent Gokay, Keele University, UK *
