Synopsis

Some of the 21st century's greatest challenges are reflected in Turkey-EU relations, the widening gap between the West and the Muslim world, terrorism, and the struggle for human rights and democratisation. Ann Dismorr examines the implications of Turkey's affiliation with Europe whilst also discussing its role in the Middle East. She pays particular attention to the reforms initiated by the 'moderate Islamist' Justice and Development Party, and to the career and policies of one-time political prisoner and current Prime Minister Tayyip Erdo an. The topics covered include the Iraq War, the Kurdish question, women's rights, the crisis over Cyprus and the 2007 elections.

Media Reviews
A fascinating, inside account ... provides in depth knowledge ...of one of Europe's largest and yet widely unknown countries.Margot Wallstrom, Vice President, European Commission, BrusselsA thoughtful and engaging book about Turkey and its relations with the European Union. It should be widely read - especially perhaps by those who try to use their recent opposition to Turkish membership of the EU to score cheap domestic political points.Chris Patten, Former European Commissioner and Governor of Hong Kong'Ann Dismorr's Turkey Decoded provides an authoritative insight into the real Turkey. For those who might still have reservations about Turkey's rightful accession into the European Union, this astute and comprehensive study should dispel all doubts.'Moris Farhi
