The concept has a powerful socialized definition and a popular appeal across the political spectrum in Turkey with important implications for security in the wider Middle East. The book investigates the impact of geopolitics and domestic-political factors on the concept and uncovers motivations behind its trajectory since 2004 with a particular focus on the last several years, the period when Turkey's naval assertiveness reached its peak following the failed coup attempt in 2016. Based on in-depth interviews with diplomats, naval officers, academics, and researchers in the field, the book takes the reader through a journey on how the Turkish government has reinforced an activist policy since 2016 due to pressures of regional insecurity, domestic coalition logrolling, and nationalist sentiment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45281771651223,"sku":"9783031372063","price":8814.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783031372063.webp?v=1769300186","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/turkeys-naval-activism-maritime-geopolitics-and-the-blue-homeland-concept-9783031372063","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
