Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building a Euro-Atlantic Security Community has many dimensions, including the multiple and diverse sides of security, from its political-military aspects to economic, environmental, and energy security, as well as human security in the form of good governance and respect for the rights of individuals. Other dimensions involve the evolving role and significance of key actors. On that front, none is more important than Turkey and the dramatic changes in its role in the Euro-Atlantic region. The Euro-Atlantic Security Initiative's Working Group on Turkey examined the new assertiveness in Turkish foreign policy, Ankara's growing influence within its critical immediate neighborhood, and its evolving relationship with other key portions of the Euro-Atlantic region. This report assesses each of these elements. It then recommends measures to be taken by the Turkish government and Turkey's partners in the Euro-Atlantic region to fit the Turkish component into the construction of a stronger Euro-Atlantic Security Community.
