While the economic and security dimensions of Turkey’s role in the region have been amply addressed, its cross-border ties with societies in the Caucasus remain under-researched. This issue of the Cauca- sus Analytical Digest illustrates inter-societal relations between Turkey and the three South Caucasus states of Arme- nia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia, as well as with the de-facto state of Abkhazia, through the prism of NGO and diaspora contacts. Although this approach is by necessity selective, each of the four articles describes an important segment of transboundary societal relations between Turkey and the Caucasus.

  • Turkish President Turgut Özal's Impact on Nursultan
    TURKISH PRESIDENT TURGUT ÖZAL’S IMPACT ON NURSULTAN NAZARBAYEV’S PERCEPTION OF TURKEY* Nursultan Nazarbayev'ın Türkiye Algısına Tugut Özal'ın Etkisi Din Muhammed AMETBEK** Abstract Nursultan Nazarbayev as the founding President of Kazakhstan played a determinant role in the formation of Kazakh foreign policy. In this respect, the article examines Nazarbayev’s perception of Turkey as a decision maker in foreign policy are based on observation rather than realities. Nazarbayev is aware of the fact that the national identity of Kazakhstan is divided between two competing poles; Russian and Kazakh, in a broader sense; Slavic and Turkic. From this perspective, Nazarbayev’s perception of Turkey is significant as it is not only related to foreign policy but at the same time the national identity of Kazakhstan. The study argues that the President of Republic of Turkey of early 1990s Turgut Özal with his active diplomacy towards Kazakhstan contributed to the positive image of Turkey. The research concludes that close and reliable relations between Nazarbayev and Özal became the basis of a strategic part- nership between Kazakhstan and Turkey. Keywords: Turgut Özal, Nursultan Nazarbayev, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Perception, National Identity Özet Kazakistan’ın kurucu Cumhurbaşkanı Nursultan Nazarbayev’in, Kazak dış politi- kasının oluşumunda belirleyici rol üstlendiği kesindir. Bu bağlamda, makale, Nazarba- yev’in Türkiye algısını ele almaktadır. Çünkü inşacı ekolün iddiasına dış politika kararları gerçeklere değil algı üzerine alınmaktadır. Nazarbayev Kazakistan’ın ulusal kimliğinin Rus ve Kazak olarak, daha geniş kapsamda Slav ve Türk olarak yarışan iki kutba ayrıldığının farkındadır. Buradan hareketle, Nazarbayev’in Türkiye algısı, yal- nızca dış politika açısından değil aynı zamanda Kazakistan’ın ulusal kimliği açısından da önemlidir.

    COMMENTARY TURGUT ÖZAL TWENTY YEARS AFTER: THE MAN AND THE POLITICIAN Turgut Özal Twenty Years After: The Man and the Politician CENGİZ ÇANDAR* ABSTRACT Whether Turgut Özal was a good politician remains up for debate. However, there is no question that he indeed was (and is) a significant historical persona. He guided his country into the twenty-first century.

  • The South Caucasus: Where the Us and Turkey Succeeded Together
    THE SOUTH CAUCASUS: WHERE THE US AND TURKEY SUCCEEDED TOGETHER As Americans and Turks discuss the ups and downs in their relationship, the strategically important South Caucasus is one area, where, working together, Turkey and the United States have helped bring about historic changes. More can be done to realize the region’s promise should the US and Turkey deepen their partnership with Azerbaijan and Georgia and build on the policies that have proven to be successful. This success has been based on forward-looking pragmatism and recognition of common interests. Acknowledging the achievements in the South Caucasus and learning from them can contribute to future progress in the US-Turkey relationship. Elin Suleymanov∗ ∗ Elin Suleymanov is Senior Counselor with the Government of Azerbaijan. The views and opinions are his own and do not imply an endorsement by the employer. ormerly a Soviet backyard, the South Caucasus is increasingly emerging as a vital part of the extended European space. Sandwiched between the Black and the Caspian seas, the Caucasus F also stands as a key juncture of Eurasia. Living up to its historic reputation, the South Caucasus, especially the Republic of Azerbaijan, is now literally at the crossroads of the East-West and North – South transport corridors. Additionally, the Caucasus has been included concurrently into a rather vague “European Neighborhood” and an even vaguer “Greater Middle East.” This represents both the world’s growing realization of the region’s importance and the lack of a clear immediate plan to address the rising significance of the Caucasus. Not that the Caucasus has lacked visionaries.

  • Contents of These Values Relate Not to Sovereign States but to the Individual Human Beings Who Are Their Constituent Members
    Opening Address Gaishi Hiraiwa Prime Minister Obuchi, Dr. Boutros-Ghali, ladies and gentlemen. As chairman of the Japan Institute of International Affairs (JIIA), I take pleasure in addressing you on the opening of this symposium commemorating the fortieth anni- versary of JIIA. JIIA was established in December 1959 on the initiative of Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida to conduct wide-ranging research and surveys in fields related to international affairs and diplomacy. Its aims were “to create a major research facility in cooperation with academe, the bureaucracy, politics, business, the press, and other spheres, and prepare a system for empirical research oriented toward advancing our new democratic diplomacy.” Thus it was established on the basis of the consensus of opinion leaders in a variety of fields. In the 40 years since then, JIIA, true to the spirit of its founders, has expanded its fields of activity in response to international trends and changes. With the recent rise of so-called track-two diplomacy, JIIA, as a leading Japanese think tank, prides itself on having made significant contributions to the formulation of Japanese foreign policy. With the cooperation of Dr. Hans van Ginkel, rector of United Nations University, and others at UNU, we have organized this symposium on the theme “In Quest of Human Security.” During this symposium, we will have the opportunity to hear the valuable opinions, informed by penetrating insight, of eminent authorities from both Japan and overseas as they discuss measures for conflict prevention, promotion of sus- tainable development, and enhancement of human dignity—all core issues of human security.

  • Trade Union Responses to Globalization in Lithuania
    Discussion papers DP/111/1999 Trade union responses to globalization Labour in Lithuania and Society Programme Roma Dovydeniene P.O. Box 6 CH-1211 Geneva 22 Tel.004122/7998496 Fax. 004122/7998542 E-mail: [email protected] The International Institute for Labour Studies was established in 1960 as an autonomous facility of the International Labour Organization (ILO). Its mandate is to promote policy research and public discussion on emerging issues of concern to the ILO and its constituents labour, business and government. The Labour and Society Programme examines the outlook for labour at the beginning of the new millennium in the light of changes at the workplace and in society at large. Focusing initially on organized labour, the programme seeks to identify approaches and strategies to enhance the profile of labour as a major actor in civil society, and as a contributor to dynamic and equitable growth. Specifically, the programme will review the changing environment of labour and unions; document trade union responses to these changes; highlight promising approaches for trade unions in civil society and the global economy in future; and outline the type of policy and institutional environment required for the growth of free and effective trade unions. This work is undertaken in close collaboration with international and national trade union organizations and international trade secretariats, and will be implemented through networks consisting of trade union practitioners, academics, research institutes and other policymakers. These networks, both international and regional, will also be a means of disseminating research outcomes to a wider audience. The Discussion Paper Series presents the preliminary results of research undertaken by the IILS.
