Turkey Today: A European Country?

What place does Turkey occupy in the world today? Is it a bridge between Asia and Europe, or a bridgehead? Is Turkey part of Europe? In spite of the fine sentiments of Brussels and the desire, displayed by all Turkish administrations for the last fifteen years, to become part of the EU, a game of bluff seems to be unfolding, marked by postponements, hesitations, and unspoken agendas of one kind or another. But this bureaucratic approach masks other, pressing issues, such as the question of military power, Islam, the Kurdish question, Cyprus, and immigration. In the context of these issues, the Turkish question serves to cast the spotlight on new challenges for Europe: Where should the frontiers of Europe be drawn? What is the place of Islam in it? What is the best way to deal with minorities? The spectrum of authoritative analyses in this vital new book demonstrate that Turkey presents to an enlarged Europe the image of its own contradictions, but also its ambitions.
