What is it about?

The issue incorporates seven articles on Turkish foreign policy and domestic politics. Although, it is no longer realistic nor politically correct to make a division between local and global politics at the age of globalization, we decided to give a brief picture of the happenings occurring at the national and international levels all of which somewhat point to a new pattern in Turkish politics. This new pattern is marked by a rise of a political language disclosed with societal dynamics. It is in this context that the authors, all of whom are experts in their field, dwell upon their themes.

Why is it important?

The Turkish state no longer dominates the political sphere by itself. What we witness is more and more involvement of individuals, civil society and peripheral segments and circulation of controversial ideas and new social movements in the political life. This special issue is an analysis of the change that Turkey has been going under in the 2000s. It is at the same time an assessment of Turkish politics with its domestic and international aspects.
