Turkey, the United States and the delusion of geopolitics

Article Abstract:

The relations between the United States and Turkey, which are always strategically based on the geographical position of Turkey, need to be changed. The policies of Turkey in relation to those of the US have to be taken into account, and a modified strategic relationship between the two countries should be formulated based on new levels of involvement and feasible expectations from both the countries.

Turkey and the EU: The importance of markets

Article Abstract:

The weak market economy in Turkey is mainly due to the absence of the institutionalization of a market-oriented economy under a stable democracy. The European Union (EU) can promote democratic consolidation in Turkey so as to transform its economy and to facilitate political stability in the region, as it achieved in Spain, Portugal and Greece, which would be beneficial to both Turkey and the EU.
