Turkey is a country whose importance is rapidly growing in international affairs. A rapidly developing democratic state with a strong economy, complex society, active party system, and powerful armed forces, Turkey is playing an increasingly critical role in Europe, the Middle East, and the Caucasus.

Given Turkey's significance and the great interest in studying its history, politics, and foreign policy, Turkish Studies presents a forum for scholarly discussion on these topics and more. Turkish Studies features full-length articles, book reviews, and discussion roundtables covering:

• The history of the Turkish republic, from the 1920s to the present, including political, social, and intellectual issues and developments.
• Turkish politics, including parties, voting patterns, ideologies, biographies, the army and other institutions, as well as the political attitudes of different social groups within the country.
• The composition and policy-making process of Turkish governments, including leading figures and movements.
• Government policies and programs, including economic, religious, social, and all other issues.
• Turkish international relations and foreign policy, including the policy-making process and Turkish relations with all countries, institutions, and movements.

Turkish Studies welcomes manuscript submissions. All feature articles should be between 5,000 and 7,500 words and sent via e-mail to editor Barry Rubin at profbarryrubin@yahoo.com Book reviews should be e-mailed to Medi Nahmiyaz at mnahmiyaz@yahoo.com Please consult our style sheet before sending any materials.
