Zusammenfassung:	"Written by the former chief foreign policy advisor to the Turkish president and based on unprecedented access to official documents and communiques, this book gives the inside story of Turkish US relations from the first Gulf War, through debates on the Iraqi Kurdish question, the 2003 invasion of Iraq and into the present day. Using events in Iraq as the basis for a theoretical case study, Gurcan Balik argues that Turkey influenced US foreign policy on several key occasions, and that Turkish support was instrumental in the first intervention in Iraq. After Iraq's 1991 uprisings, however, Turkey's interests in the Middle East began to diverge from those of the US, and their relationship gradually deteriorated, evident in Turkey's refusal to open up its northern border to aid the US advance to Baghdad in 2003. Balik contends that an 'Iraq gap' then emerged, which has since had major implications for the Turkish economy and for the future of the Middle East.Turkey and the US in the Middle East contains hitherto unpublished primary source material, and is an essential addition to the scholarship of the period."--Bloomsbury Publishing INTRODUCTION -- Chapter 1: THE GULF WAR -- Chapter 2: THE PERIOD OF UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES, 1991-1994 -- Chapter 3: THE FIRST CLASHES BETWEEN IRAQI KURDISH FACTIONS, 1994-1996 -- Chapter 4: THE PERIOD 1996-2001 -- Chapter 5: THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION AND THE IRAQ WAR -- CONCLUSIONS.
