Iran and Turkey
I.B. Tauris (Verlag)
978-1-78831-180-9 (ISBN)
The foreign policies of Turkey and Iran seem increasingly to dictate the course of events in the Middle East. More recently, and especially following the Syrian crisis, the spotlight has turned to these states' dynamic re-entry onto the political stage, revealing them as key players with an international role in efforts towards the balance of power across the region.
This book traces the major determinants of Turkish and Iranian foreign policies and their influence on events in the Middle East. Based on an examination of these states' politics and policies since 1979, and using material gathered from interviews with leading political figures from Turkey, Iran and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, Marianna Charountaki offers fresh insights into how we understand the contemporary global order. Of particular importance, this book shows, is the effect of both external and internal factors on foreign policy and how the interaction between state and non-state actors informs political decisions. In placing these issues in a theoretical framework, Marianna Charountaki pioneers a new conceptual map within International Relations. An interdisciplinary study that provides a fresh new perspective, this book will be of particular interest to scholars of International Relations, Politics, Foreign Policy, Kurdish and Middle East Studies.
Marianna Charountaki is a Lecturer in Kurdish Politics and International Relations in the School of History, Politics and International Relations at the University of Leicester, where she is also the Head of the Kurdistan International Studies Unit. Her research interests range from international relations and foreign policy analysis to the international relations of the broader Middle East. She has published the monograph The Kurds and US Foreign Policy: International Relations in the Middle East since 1945 (2010) as well as articles in the journals Journal of American Foreign Policy Interests, Third World Quarterly and Journal of Arabian Studies.
