For much of the late 2000s, Turkey hoped that a booming economy, the prestige of combative Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and a burst of regional admiration for its successful mix of Muslim governance and democracy would reap it a harvest of Middle Eastern influence and profit. (suite…)

La Turquie est en position de force sur la scène régionale et internationale. Son économie de marché solide, la vigueur de sa démocratie, son influence culturelle et la mise à l’écart de menaces de longue date, à savoir l’islamisme, le nationalisme ethnique, le militarisme et l’autoritarisme, semblent consacrer son heure de gloire.

Things have rarely felt better for a Turkish government. After a decade of broad-based progress, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan is hearing little but praise for the democratic legitimacy of Turkey’s elections, its robust market economy and the way it seems to have tamed four of the region’s ideological demons: Islamism, ethnic nationalism, militarism and authoritarianism.

As its isolationist instincts decline, Turkey is trying to promote a policy of ‘zero problems’ with its neighbours, while pushing for EU membership. Western observers often describe Turkey as a bridge between east and west. But for much of recent history it has instead been an isolated promontory. (suite…)
