OTTOMAN/TURKEY-USA RELATIONS Since the Establishment of Diplomatic Relationship Events, Crises, Strategy and Policies

Turkish-American relations have a history approaching a quarter of a millennium. The history of bilateral relations covers a period from a collapsed great power and a rising great power, in other words “the Phoenix to the descent”, and the American eagle taking off to take the place of the Roman Empire, to the present day. For this reason, the most important feature of relations is the phenomenon of inequality in power.
On the one hand, this book proposes a statistical analysis-supported method for strategies and policies to be applied in relationships in different power categories, and presents a model to IR professionals and students. Thus, it is to shed light on the strategies and policies that unequal powers can implement against each other.
On the other hand, the book hopes to be useful to all readers by reminding the brief history of the events, facts, crises, strategies and policies implemented in Turkish-American relations from the first establishment of diplomatic relations to the present, and by giving clues about the analysis of bilateral relations, which gradually turned into a chess game.
Prof. dr. In the words of Şükrü Sina Gürel, the book aims not only to evaluate Turkish-American relations on the basis of "power and interest", but also to present a theoretical analysis of the relationship model between a "global dominant power" and a "middle power country".
