Summary/Abstract |
Turkey has been wrestling with its Kurdish issue since the foundation of the republic in 1923. The early 'Turkification' policy of the Kemalist elite met strong resistance among the Kurdish minority and sparked several outbreaks of unrest, violently suppressed, in the Kurdish areas in the east and southeast. In 1984 the issue took on a new dimension when the newly founded Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) began conducting terrorist attacks against Turkish territory from safe havens in the Qandil Mountains of northern Iraq. The struggle against the PKK has so far cost 40,000 lives and has hurt both Turkey's internal development and its relations with its Western allies, especially the United States.

Summary/Abstract |
As the Obama administration begins to build its relationship with Japan, both challenges and opportunities confront the U.S.-Japan alliance.While the global economic environment will continue to preoccupy the leadership in Tokyo and Washington for some time, a number of pressing security concerns-U.S. troop withdrawal in Iraq, exploring ways to open dialogue with Iran, and continuing to fight the war on terror in Afghanistan and elsewhere-may siphon attention to Japan away from the Obama aministration.With so much uncertainty ahead, the next few years under President Obama will be a true test of whether the U.S.-Japan alliance can really function as a foundation of peace and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region.
