THE FUTURE OF TURKISH-- WESTERN RELATIONS: Toward a Strategic Plan, Zalmay Khalilzad, Ian O. Lesser, and F. Stephen Larrabee, eds., RAND. Santa Monica. CA 2000.$20.00.
A real estate professional would easily define Turkey's importance in the geopolitical world in terms of its strategic "location, location, location" at the epicenter of the world's great conflicts. Yet, in typical no-- nonsense RAND style, the report's authors, respected Middle Eastern experts, address the fundamental domestic and regional issues confronting Turkey as it plots its strategic course in the new world order. Zalmay Khalilzad and the other authors believe Turkey is best served by a strengthened participation in a U.S.-Turkish-European triangle.
