Abstract
The end of the Cold War altered the basic material and ideational context which Turkish policy makers were accustomed to for more than forty years. In the Cold War setting, to a large extent Turkey could rely on the United States to deal with its security questions, while maintaining critical economic and trade relations with Western Europe.
