Iran and Turkey: International and Regional Engagement in the Middle East: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Iran and Turkey: International and Regional Engagement in the Middle East" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

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.

Relations in the School of Government and

This book pursues an in-depth analysis of the most important determinants to influence Iranian and Turkish foreign policies. Based on outstanding empirical research, which will be of interest to scholars of International Relations, it attempts to bring a holistic approach to the politics of the Middle Eastern region.

Sayyed Ataollah Mohajerani, novelist, historian and
former Minister of Culture of Iran (19962000)

This volume takes a much needed holistic approach to relations between Turkey and Iran and the region they are part of. It cuts across the usual geographical and theoretical boundaries to offer a multi-level analysis of the situation and would be of interest to scholars of any, or all, parts of the area encompassed by the Caucasus and the Middle East.

Preface

This book examines the dynamic role played by interactions between Iran and Turkey and analyses the primary factors directing their foreign policies, while also exploring their influence on regional and global politics. The book traces the evolution of these determinants in TurkishIranian relations and their subsequent impact on regional events and policies from 1979, pursuing an interdisciplinary, holistic and critical analysis that offers extensive primary source-based empirical research. The research also highlights the important part played by non-state actors on the stage of Middle Eastern politics as a worthy subject for analysis in its own right.

Conceptually, the book presents a fresh and alternative outlook by offering an original theoretical map supported by new and thought-provoking research material concerning the effects of material and ideational (external or internal) factors along with the interaction between actors of state and non-state status on the formulation of Turkish and Iranian policies. This places the study and its subject matter in a theoretical framework for the first time, and thereby makes a valuable contribution in filling a gap in the current literature as well as within the IR discipline.

Turkish and Iranian policies increasingly seem to dictate the Middle Eastern course of events, and therefore the book is very timely, while its scope is wide-ranging, covering the role of most central states in the Middle East (Iran, Iraq, Turkey, Syria), along with international powers (US, Russia), international institutions (EU) and non-state actors (the Kurds). Addressing topical political and IR matters alongside carefully considered conceptual insights make this study a valuable contribution to subject areas such as foreign policy-making, international relations, Middle Eastern politics and Kurdish studies, while the book's original intensively researched approach will undoubtedly make a significant contribution to the academic canon and stimulate future research in this field.

Acknowledgements

This book is an extension of research carried out for my post-doctoral research at the University of Reading a project that could not have been written without the participation and support of my interviewees, and, in particular, the KRG leadership. I would also like to express my appreciation to the PKK leadership and Turkish MPs in Ankara whose valuable input added an extra dimension to the book as well as my Iranian interviewees (one of whom chose to remain anonymous for security reasons) that helped me to present an accurate assessment of the Iranian viewpoint.

I would also like to sincerely thank Professor Alex Cudsi (Panteion University in Athens) for the encouragement to engage with this particular subject-matter and who gave generous support during the initial stages of this enterprise. The substantial contribution of Emeritus Professor Ewan Anderson and Dr Younis Al Lahwej (University of Reading) through feedback and advice in the final stages of the completion of my post-doctoral research has also been crucial and is greatly appreciated.

This book is dedicated to all those scholars who work to increase knowledge by their contributions to the field of political science in the hope of enlightening political elites, and the politicians who strive for peaceful relations in the broader region of the Middle East. Most of all, I dedicate these pages to those currently suffering in lands that have known war and devastation, particularly the people of Syria.
