Turkey and the Global Political Economy

While there has been a huge expansion of the literature on Turkish political economy and foreign policy in the last decade or so, fewer studies have explored Turkey''s engagement with the changing global political economy since 2008 in a holistic manner. Against the backdrop of the debates on the ''rise of the Global South'' and the crisis and decline of the US-led Liberal International Order, this book interrogates Turkey''s ambitions to increase its regional and global economic, political, and military ''footprint'' and the limitations thereof. The volume explores Turkey''s economic and political relations with diverse regions and countries, ranging from Latin America to sub-Saharan Africa, post-Brexit Britain to Iran, as well as rising powers India and China. Drawing upon various critical IPE/IR approaches, the book offers a critical perspective, challenging conventional accounts which tend to draw upon and reproduce rigid dichotomies.>

"This volume draws upon various critical approaches, exploring Turkey's economic and political relations with diverse regions and countries, ranging from Latin America to sub-Saharan Africa, and post-Brexit Britain to Iran. The book offers a multilateral perspective which transcends state-centrism and the understanding of economic relations as isolated from political relations"--
