BOOKS
1. Barry Rubin, ISTANBUL INTRIGUES
     This is the new English edition of the book on war, diplomacy, and
espionage on Istanbul and the Balkans during World War Two. Based on
extensive use of archives and dozens of  interviews with participants,
Istanbul Intrigues combines new information on that period as well as
telling the story of individuals caught up in that complex and exciting era.
     The book covers the Allied and Axis struggle over winning Turkey's
support; covert efforts to liberate Greece, Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary,
the role of journalists, the rise and fall of spy networks, the attempts to
rescue Jews, and other events.
     In addition, the book analyzes Turkish policy and the positions of the
key Turkish leaders, using British, American, and German archives. It
recounts the earnest but often bumbling way that the United States started
its own intelligence agency as well as how the region slipped into the Cold
War. The remarkable cast of characters in this true story includes, Stalin's
chief murder expert, stalking Berlin's ambassador to try to set off a
German-Turkish war; the young Vatican emissary who later became Pope John
XXIII; Hungarian leaders secretly negotiating peace with the Allies; an
eccentric American ex-governor who considered himself the world's greatest
superspy; and the British ambassador's valet who became the greatest German
agent of the war (though his information was ignored).

2. Barry Rubin, Kemal Kirisci, GUNUMUZDE TURKIYE'NIN DIS POLITIKASI
GUNUMUZDE TURKIYE'NIN DIS POLITIKASI is the Turkish translation of TURKEY IN
WORLD POLITICS. The book is available from Bosphorus University Press,
Istanbul.
     Once characterized by an avoidance of foreign entanglements, Turkey's
diplomacy has changed dramatically in the present era of regional agreements
and organizations. Tracing the evolution of that change, this comprehensive
study explores the country's new international posture. The authors assess
Turkey's policy toward Europe, Russia, Central Asia, and the U.S., as well
as its growing role within the Middle East region. They also address in
depth the critical issues of economic, energy, and water policy. Their
discussion of the interest groups and institutions affecting the
policymaking process and the challenges facing the country's rapidly
urbanizing and industrializing economy contribute to the picture of a
complex, dynamic nation.

3. Murat Cizakca, DEMOKRASI ARAYISINDA TURKIYE: LAIK-DINDAR/DEMOKRAT
UZLASMASINA BIR KATKI
     This book addresses the question of how Turkey can achieve true
democracy while maintaining its Islamic character. As such, it addresses a
universal problem pertaining to the whole Islamic world. The author argues
that the sine qua non for the true democracy under such conditions is an
elite settlement between the secularist establishment and the Muslims. The
author then goes on to investigate the conditions under which such a
settlement can take place. Finally, he assumes that a Muslim-democratic
government comes to power, and then draws the outlines of a viable program
of such a government that would be acceptable to both the secularists and
the Muslim-democrats.

4. Clement Dodd, STORM CLOUDS OVER CYPRUS: A BRIEFING.
     This book is the second updated and much expanded edition of the
original. It begins by providing the history of the conflict and then shows
how each side interprets the course of events and which features of the
conflict each side emphasizes. This is followed by analysis of the role of
the UN as broker, and the EU as catalyst, for a solution. The progress of
the current face-to-face talks is then examined, as too are the
international implications of the conflict. Nine new documents are appended
to the second edition, making eleven in all, and including excerpts from the
UN's 1992 'Set of Ideas', the important UN Secretary-General's Report of
September 2000, an authoritative statement on Turkey's Cyprus policy by
Foreign Minister, Ismail Cem, the Greek Cypriot National Council's
proposals, and Turkish Cypriot proposals for a settlement.

7. Efraim Inbar, TURK-ISRAIL STRATEJIK ORTAKLIGI (The Israeli-Turkish
Entente)
     Efraim Inbar's book The Israeli-Turkish Entente published in English by
King's College is now available in Turkish (Turk-Israil Stratejik Ortakligi)
by ASAM. The Israeli-Turkish Entente is the first comprehensive study that
explains the timing of the entente, its present substance, and its impact on
the regional environment. The book argues that the entente with Israel was
part of a reorientation of Turkey's foreign policy as a result of the
emergence of a new international constellation, following the demise of the
Soviet Union.
