Summary/Abstract |
More than any country in this century, Turkey has raised its profile as a regional and global political actor. It has achieved economic success and political stability under the leadership of the Justice and Development Party (AKP), and its charismatic prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. This rise of Turkish multilateralism has been more recently challenged by the blocking of its effort to join the European Union and by the rising tensions experienced in its relations with neighboring Syria. Turkey remains a crucial actor with considerable regional and extraregional influence.
