Appendix: National Election Results Review ...a valuable source of information on Turkish foreign and security policy both for students of international relations and scholars who are interested in this topic...This book is recommended especially to those who are interested in learning about the most important events as well as actors in the Turkish foreign and security policy-making process in the last century, starting with the very last years of the Ottoman Empire, from a different and critical scholarly perspective based on a broad literature and sometimes first-hand experience. -Insight Turkey Long Description Daring and Caution in Turkish Strategic Culture investigates the determinants of Turkeys security policy. It argues that Turkish policy has been dominated by a Republican strategic culture paradigm which is risk-averse, minimalist, insular, and suspicious of the outside world; that exogenous social developments have plunged that dominant paradigm into crisis since the 1980s, bringing some of its core elements (such as upholding the Kemalist order at home) into conflict with other core elements (for example, avoiding dangerous entanglements abroad); and that this has permitted the reassertion of an equally enduring Imperial counter-paradigm which is risk-taking, acquisitive, cosmopolitan, and willing to engage with foreign actors. Detailed case studies of key episodes during the past two decades illustrate how the interplay of the contending paradigms explains the unprecedented assertiveness of Turkish security behavior in recent years, and suggest more general conclusions regarding the role of culture and statecraft in policy formulation during times of flux.
