Opis

The book turns the concepts of identity politics and foreign policy as traditionally used in IR scholarship inside out. It uses an in-depth exploration of Turkey's identity debates to develop of theory of how elites use foreign policy to advance their own understanding national identity back home.

Recenzje

What Hintz's book provides is valuable perspective... on the instrumental importance of foreign policy during the party's rise.
