Abstract

Katerina Dalacoura argues that contemporary accounts of a Turkish pivot away from the west are based on a misunderstanding of Turkey's national identity. Ankara's stance on interventions against Isis in Syria, she says, is driven more by Turkey's Kurdish issue than by any Islamist sympathies or anti-western turn.
