C&C member Dr Bugra Susler published his new book Turkey, the EU and the Middle East: Foreign Policy Cooperation and the Arab Uprisings (Routledge 2020). Susler focuses on the dynamics of Turkey’s relationship with Europe in the context of the ‘Arab Spring’ and analyses Turkish behaviour vis-à-vis foreign policy cooperation with the EU. The analysis is based on field research involving interviews with diplomats and policy makers at the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the European External Action Service (EEAS).
More generally, Susler’s research deals with global conflicts and international cooperation, with a particular focus on the Middle East, Turkish foreign policy and the international relations of the European Union. He is a Teaching Fellow in International Organisations & International Conflict and Cooperation at UCL Department of Political Science and a Visiting Postdoctoral Fellow at LSE IDEAS, the foreign policy think tank of the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).
