Description
Book SynopsisIn this book, Yaman Kepenç highlights the significance of Chilean-Turkish relations throughout Turkey’s struggle for state recognition. Despite their geographic remoteness, Chile and Turkey share a long diplomatic relationship from the early days of the Turkish Republic, and notably, Chile was the first country in Latin America to recognize the modern state of Turkey.
Trade ReviewAn eloquent contribution to diplomatic history between two middle powers, this book offers original research regarding bilateral relations between Chile and Turkey. The first of its kind, From the Anatolian Heartland to the Andean Mountains should be commended for its in-depth study of bilateral relations between these two countries and for utilizing previously untapped Chilean and Turkish archives. Yaman Kepenç has significantly contributed to Turkish and Latin American studies.
