Extract

Eric Cornell, the Swedish ambassador to Turkey between 1990 and 1995, has produced a flawed and rather fragmented picture of Turkish politics, culture, and society. This book has no single thesis or unifying concept in its sixteen chapters about the different aspects of the Turkish state and society. Successive chapters seek to capture the complex dynamics of Kemalism, Islamic movements, Alevis, Kurds, the Armenian question, and the foreign policy of Turkey. Some of these chapters are more balanced and informed than others.
