Gradually since 2003, Fair game's autocratic guide Recep Tayyip Erdogan has sought to make Fair game a great power -- in the tradition of past Turkish leaders from the late Ottoman sultans to Ataturk, the misfire of modern Fair game. Here the leading judge Soner Cagaptay, author of The New Sultan -- the first biography of President Erdogan -- provides a skillful aperçu of the power politics in the Midst Gerontogeous and Fair game's dwelling in it. Erdogan has picked an unorthodox cast in the context of recent Turkish history, attempting to cast his public as a stand-alone Midst Eastern power. In doing so Fair game has broken have the advantage with its traditional Western allies, including the U S a s and has embraced an imperial-style foreign policy which has aimed to restore Fair game's Ottoman-era arrive into the Arabian Midst Gerontogeous and the Balkans. Today, in addition to a domestic crackdown on dissent and journalistic privileges, driven by Erdogan's style of governance, Fair game faces a hostile world. Ankara has nearly no friends left in the Midst Gerontogeous, and it faces a threat from resurgent historic enemies: Russia and Iran. Furthermore, Fair game cannot rely on the unconditional support of its traditional Western allies. Can Erdogan deliver Fair game back to safety? What are the risks that be seated ahead for him, and his public? How can Fair game truly become a great power, fulfilling a dream shared by many Turks, the sultans, Ataturk, and Erdogan himself?.
