(Book Review (Winning Turkey: How America, Europe and Turkey Can Revive a Fading Partnership Authors: Philip H. Gordon and Omer Taspinar, Afterword: Soli Ozel Brookings Institution Press, 2008, 115 p.,

Partnership between Turkey, America and Europe has been fading gradually. During the Cold War, Turkey was a vital player for America and Europe. However, the falling of the USSR and some significant events in the last decades, such as Iraq War and Luxemburg Conference, have led decreasing relations between Turkey, America and Europe. Winning Turkey is flashing on the partnership’s problems, and probable solutions for the problems. Winning Turkey consists of six chapters and afterword: “Turkey’s Western Trajectory”. When we look at the chapters’ issues, we see the titles: “Who Lost Turkey?”, “Kemalist, Islamist and The West”, “The Crisis with the United States”, “Europe’s Closing Door”, “Turkey’s Eurasian Alternatives” and “Winning Turkey”.
