This book explores how Turkey's contested national identity affects its foreign policy throughout different its recent history since the late Ottoman era. The book takes a constructivist approach in asserting that identity matters for foreign policy decisions, but it separates itself from statist approaches by bringing identity question into domestic politics. The book argues that modern Turkish foreign policy is a product of ideological struggles that have been produced by historical memory and evolved over time.
