Drugs of choice, drugs of change
Much has been written and published about the 25 January 2011 Egyptian revolution from the perspective of contemporary history and political science. Much less attention has focused on social policy. I am unaware of any scholarly material that has dealt with illicit drugs during the critical 2011–2016 period, yet increasing drugs consumption provided a social backdrop to the events of that period. This paper identifies historical trends in illici…

The Foreign Policies of Middle East States
This new edition of The Foreign Policies of Middle East States reflects the momentous events and shifting dynamics that have occurred in the region in the nearly fifteen years since the first edition was published. Working within a common analytical framework, the authors offer a theoretically grounded, systematic examination of the foreign policies of eleven states
Narcotic Drugs in Dubai
Over the last two decades, illicit drugs have emerged as a growing social problem in the Arab Gulf states. Dubai is no exception, in spite of its reputation as an economic success story. Dubai has been affected in two ways: through the increased use of hard drugs, notably heroin, especially among its nationals; and through the role of transnational organised crime in moving illegal drugs through the sovereign space of the Emirate and onwards to l…
Turkey's ‘double gravity’ predicament
In November 2012 it was ten years since the Justice and Development Party became the party of government in Turkey. During that time, it has raised its profile abroad and sought to project its influence. In particular, it has tried to increase its impact on the European Union and the Middle East—the primary regions to which Turkey lies adjacent. This approach has been parcelled up in the name of turning Turkey from a state of marginal importance …

Public policy making in Turkey
The caricature of public policy making in Turkey persists: a monolithic state and top-down political authority. There is some secondary literature, albeit limited, that challenges this image, and suggests greater state fragmentation. This cross-cutting case study of drugs policy in Turkey confirms this more differentiated experience. It illuminates the difficulties of process in the development of policy. It points to the disparities in capacity …
Back from the Brink
This article focuses on issue of narcotics and Turkey over a 30-year period. Its point of departure is 1970s, when opium production crisis in Turkey, and its associated corrosion of relations with US, had been brought to an end. The article concentrates on period in late 1980s/early to mid-1990s, when hard drugs issue became fused with other security threats like terrorism and state corruption. During this dark period, Turkey's criminal organizat…
The Opium Crisis and the Iraq War
Turkish-US ties came close to crisis in the run-up to the 2003 Iraq war, thereby defying the conventional analysis which views the relationship as essentially cooperative. This occurred because experts have based their assessment of the alliance on too selective a view of the historical relationship. This article focuses on a neglected but important issue from the recent past, the opium case of the early 1970s, which provides a more comparable an…

The 2005 Brismes Lecture
Fifteen years ago the study of Turkish foreign policy did not exist; there was only Nato, the Cyprus embroglio and the European vocation. In the Middle East more generally there was a great deal of interest in international issues, most obviously 'the obsession with the Arab-Israeli conflict', as Fawaz Gerges controversially put it,' but little systematic treatment of the foreign policy of individual states. Today, that situation is changing, esp…

Confusion at home, Confusion abroad
In November 2002 it looked as though Turkey was about to make a fresh start. A new post-Islamist political force, the AKP, had swept to power in national elections. Lobbying was in full swing for the EU to name a date for the commencement of accession negotiations. Ankara was talking to Washington about how Turkey could best help the US in the event of war with Iraq, and the Americans were fully prepared to reciprocate. There was even hope that t…
