xv, 214 p. ; 24 cm. "Turkey's strategic geopolitical positioning as a bridge between Europe, the Middle East, the Balkans, the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, and South Caucasus, and its religious, cultural, and historical affiliations with countries in its immediate neighborhood, make it an indispensable actor in European and transatlantic security.

Subsequently, it has traditionally been well embedded in Western security infrastructures"-- specialized Oya Dursun-Özkanca. Includes bibliographical references and index.
