Turkey’s foreign policy in transition 1950-1974

The purpose of this book is to study the foreign policy of Turkey after WW II, and especially after the 1960’s, when the country began to improve its relations with the Soviet Union and the non-aligned bloc while maintaining its affiliation with NATO and other Western international organizations. The Turkish foreign policy, and especially the debates about it in 1960-74, reflect rather accurately state of mind, the currents of thought which prevailed in the country at the time, and could forecast the possible direction of Turkey’s domestic policies and international relations.
