Zusatztext "Elik weaves a highly readable account of more than thirty years of diplomatic, security and energy relations – and in doing so establishes the central importance of both nations and their relations with each other to the wider regional political landscape... I found the case study of Iran-Turkey relations a worthwhile investment irrespective of the theoretical overlay – and in that sense the book offers something of a dual purpose that should satisfy both IR theory and non-theory inclined readers." - Stephen McGlinchey; e-International Relations, www.e-ir.info"This book is the first comprehensive exploration of Iranian-Turkish relations since 1979... There is a strong theoretical underpinning to the text through the use of a middle-power states framework." - Suleyman Kizitoprak; Insight Turkey, Vol 15, No.02, Spring 2013.
