Turkey
The future of Turkey is central to the shape of the transatlantic relationship in the 21st century. Turkey's western vocation has been shaken by growing enlargement fatigue in some of the EU member states and by the split in NATO over the Iraq war. The U.S.-Turkish relationship has moved in a cyclical pattern from periods of strategic convergence to periods of friction and crisis. It has clearly been in a period of friction and change in the past few years.
The most recent of GMF's Transatlantic Trends public opinion surveys found that the Turkish public has felt increasingly isolated from both the United States and the European Union. Turkey's future and its relationship with Europe and North America is very much in flux and the choices it makes will have major consequences for transatlantic relations.
The role Turkey will play in its immediate neighborhood will be of central interest to Western policymakers and the position of the West in this crucial and volatile region.
