Summary/Abstract In explaining Turkish missile defence policy-making, old theoretical stand-bys like regime type and the Military-Industrial Complex fall short. They leave unexplained major questions such as why the issue of missile defence has not been debated on the same scale compared with many other security issues, and why the issues of Theatre Missile Defence and National Missile Defense have been perceived very differently. The acquisition of a TMD system is seen as a legitimate Turkish priority, whereas the American NMD project has led to scepticism, both publicly and officially. It is concluded that post-Cold War geopolitical factors, as well as security perceptions, foreign and defence policy culture, and military alliance relations all play an important role in Turkish missile defence policy-making.
