Opis

Die Aktualitat des Spannungsverhaltnisses zwischen den Vereinigten Staaten, Europa und der Turkei liegt auf der Hand. Die Autoren haben versucht, mit diesem Reader dieses Spannungsverhaltnis von unterschiedlichen Standpunkten auszuleuchten. Neben der moglichst umfassenden Information des Lesers bildet die Synthese aus theoretischen Uberlegungen (als Gerust) und praktischen Ansatzen ein weiteres wesentliches Anliegen, das sie mit dieser Publikation vermitteln wollen. Der Sammelband umfasst zum Teil bereits veroffentlichte Beitrage, die auf den letzten Stand gebracht wurden, und zu einem weiteren Teil neue, bislang noch unveroffentlichte Arbeiten.
Witnessing the current somewhat uneasy relations in the triangle United States Europe Turkey it seemed to be a good choice to analyze the evidently rising problems, which will remain of high interest over the next years. National, regional and geopolitical interests, increasingly demanded a different course and had an impact on the position of the United States and the European states. Over the years, these trilateral relations became more and more burdened by dissenting forces, and a declining willingness to accept different requirements. The authors tried to view these differences from various angles and explain the foundations of the current tensions and besides these, finally, a synthesis of both. This reader includes a number of articles published years ago, however, the latest events invited the authors to update these essays with new evidence, facts and improved analyses. A number of articles are new."
