From the Publisher
“This excellent book provides a wealth of empirical evidence and detailed policy analysis on Turkey and Qatar's strategic calculations in a rapidly changing Middle East. If you want to understand how Qatar has become Turkey's most trusted ally in the Arab world, this is a must read. As a scholar who is intimately familiar with both the Qatari and Turkish domestic context, Birol Başkan has produced an essential account for researchers and policy makers.” (Ömer Taşpınar, Professor at the National War College, Adjunct Professor at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies, and Nonresident Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institute)
“At a time when Qatar and Turkey have emerged as central actors in shifting geopolitical alignments in the Middle East, Başkan has written a highly nuanced, timely, and perceptive analysis of one of the region's most significant developments. This is a solid book that is at once in-depth and accessible. I highly recommend it.” (Mehran Kamrava, Professor and Director of the Center for International and Regional Studies at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service in Qatar)
