New faces, old ways: the dynamics of Turkish political leadership
Anatolia has always been at a crossroads of history. Hittites, Greeks, Celts, Romans, Turks...all have occupied this spit of land caught between Europe, Africa, and Asia. Now, this mixture of West and East has become a phenomenon unique in situation but universal in relevance.

Can the twilight of the sultans give way to a new, Turkish dawn?
