Turkey Looks EastIn the last two decades, Eurasia, especially the Caspian region, has become an important focal point of Turkish foreign policy. Turkey has intensified its ties to the newly independent states of Central Asia and the Caucasus, especially in the energy sector. At the same time, Turkey’s relations with Russia have warmed significantly. Indeed, ties to Russia are today better than at any time since the founding of the Turkish Republic in 1923. |

A Very Secular Affair:The Power Struggle of Turkey's ElitesMichael Thumann's paper describes the changing elite in Turkey and depicts the structural deficits of the Turkish political system that obstruct a smooth transition from the dominance of the classical elite to political competition in a democracy and a fair distribution of power in the country. |

Conceiving the New Turkey After ErgenekonThe approaches and policies toward Turkey of international and regional players cannot alone be expected to fundamentally alter the political Zeitgeist and operational principles of its political system. In fact the opposite is true: underlying Turkey’s foreign policy formulations and recalibrations is a domestic power struggle to redefine the real parameters of Turkish politics. The primary focus of this struggle in the last two years has centered on the still ongoing historic court case known |

What Obama Should Say to ErdoganOn 7 December, U.S. President Barack Obama receives the Prime Minister of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. At a time of growing mutual suspicions, a face-to-face meeting will be of great importance between two men renowned for their straight-to-the-point frankness. There is arguably no other country in the world with so many areas of common interest with the United States, and yet Turkey both rashly overrates itself and is little understood and underrated in Washington. |

Understanding Strategic Depth - Joshua WalkerThe recent activism of Turkish foreign policy under the leadership of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdo?an and the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) has caused political waves throughout Europe, the Middle East, and the broader region. Serious analysis of Turkey’s foreign policy has focused for some time on Professor Ahmet Davuto?lu, chief foreign policy advisor to Prime Minister since 2002 and Foreign Minister since May of 2009. The enormous respect and deference paid to Prof. Davuto?lu |

Evaluating Migrant Integration: Political Attitudes across Generations in EuropeForthcoming in International Migration Review This article engages debates about migrant integration by analyzing political trust and satisfaction in twenty-four European countries. The evidence suggests that first-generation migrants have the most positive attitudes, while native-origin and second-generation migrant-origin individuals have similar political trust and satisfaction scores.

Trust in Government among British Muslims: The Importance of Migration StatusForthcoming in Political Behavior This article engages debates about Muslim integration in Western societies by analyzing trust in government among British Muslims. A central finding of the article is that British Muslims are more likely than Christians to have high levels of trust in government. To account for these outcomes, I highlight the importance of general political satisfaction and political efficacy as opposed to the more specifically assimilation and segregation-related variables i |

Perspectives for a Greater Europe. Exporting the EU Model and Creating Open BordersImmigration and the demographic crises in Europe as well as the relations with Russia, Turkey and the Balkans are mostly discussed in isolation and only as problems and dangers. If we consider them in a complex and interrelated way, chances and positive policy options can be developed, where all sides can gain. The successful EU model of a large and manifold area of free movement can be enlarged to the East, getting away with many counterproductive effects of present border systems, and strength |

I present the first quantitative data that compare turnout rates among multiple minority migrant groups in France and show that non-European origin migrant groups have lower turnout rates than native French metropolitans.
