Is the cold war finally getting hot in Turkey? The ‘cold war turn’ in Turkish studies

Article / Letter to editor
Turkey has been largely missing in the new global histories of theCold War. This review essay will argue that Turkish Studies failed tomake a proper contribution to Cold War history because of a para-digmatic fixation on the determinism of the early Kemalist state-formation. There is, however, a new generation of scholars whobegan to recast the Cold War as a formative global experience thatshaped Turkey’s contemporary state of affairs and political culture.Recent studies focus on themes of (1) state formation, (2) cultureand (3) social movements in Cold War Turkey.
