2017 marks a significant 15 year anniversary for Turkish Policy Quarterly (TPQ). Over the past 15 years, we have strived to present all sides of the debate, feature constructive and critical opinions, and uphold the principles of freedom of speech. TPQ’s role in fostering open dialogue is rendered ever more important in Turkey’s increasingly polarized political and intellectual environment, as well as amidst global challenges to liberal democratic values. As we reflect on the publication’s achievements, we soberly recognize the difficult juncture the country is at.

We wish to thank our readers, stakeholders, and advisory board members for their support over the last 15 years. We would also like to acknowledge the over 700 contributors who have enriched TPQ with their expertise and opinions since 2002.

Scope: In the aftermath of key elections and referendums in Europe and Turkey, TPQ’s Spring 2017 will explore profound geostrategic shifts occurring across the international system – from the existential threats NATO is facing to the fragility of the EU project to a changing US foreign policy role. Within this general framework, we will assess Euro-Atlantic approaches to these shifts, Turkey’s position in these equations, and visions for shoring up the Western security order. While we are open to alternative suggestions, articles exploring one of the below topics welcome: Future of the EU project, rise of nationalist/populist forces, NATO’s role, Turkey-EU relations.
