GREEK-TURKISH RELATIONS IN AN ERA OF DTENTE
The conflict-ridden relations between Greece and Turkey have long occupied a problematic position in the western alliance, first in NATO then more dramatically within the context of the newly developing European Union and its defence initiatives. This book addresses crucial issues between Greece and Turkey from a crucial perspective.
Following three major earthquakes on both sides of the Aegean, the two countries have now experienced a public empathy towards each other and a significant diplomatic rapprochement. This agreement though has failed to resolve the Cyprus conflict, and is now at risk of reverting back to a series of conflicts. This book provides an up-to-date assessment of the current state of the Greek-Turkish rapprochement and its future development.
Greek-Turkish Relations in an Era of Dtente will be essential reading for students and academics in the fields of politics and international relations, and in particular, those interested in EU enlargement and Turkish and Greek foreign policy.
This is a special issue of the journal Turkish Studies.
