A timely and insightful account of the external influences shaping Turkey's politics and foreign policy. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has highlighted Turkey's role as a regional power but also a battleground between Moscow and the West. This volume shedding light of the complex dynamics at play is a must for students of European and Eurasian geopolitics.
