The collapse of the Soviet Union removed the century-old Soviet/Russian threat, simultaneously creating a power vacuum on Turkey’s borders. While Turkey had traditionally avoided involvement in regional politics, it has since been drawn into the volatile new politics of the region. In this environment, Turkey became an important actor in the region due to its strong historical ties, the attraction of its geographic position linking the region to Europe, and its economic, political, and security relationships with Azerbaijan and Georgia. Over the past thirty years, Turkey has become one of the prominent players in a region where its involvement has again increased recently after the Second Karabakh War. Although its re-engagement with Armenia is progressing slowly, and geopolitical changes and economic and political conditions in the region are unlikely to stabilize for some years, it is evident that Turkey will continue to create new networks of interdependency between Ankara and the regional capitals.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ata Atalay</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gurur Sanci</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cyberterrorism and Turkey’s Counter-Cyberterrorism Efforts</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Information &amp; Security: An International Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013-2014 Action Plan</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">counter-cyberterrorism</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cyberat-tack</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cyberpace</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cybersecurity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cyberterrorism</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cyberwar</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Turkey</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></date></pub-dates></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Procon Ltd.</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sofia</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">32</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">42-64</style></pages><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Technological innovations leading to the industrial revolution in the 19th century have proceeded in an accelerated manner to lead to an information revolution in the 21st century. In addition to warfare in land, sea and air domains, &amp;ldquo;space&amp;rdquo; has emerged as a new field of operation. Further technological innovations have yet again set up another domain called &amp;ldquo;cyberspace,&amp;rdquo; dominated by information technologies with the capability to change the course of war on land, sea, air and/or space. Besides, organised crime and terrorist organisations, following the progress in cyberspace technologies, have increased their profits and developed new types of crime using new types of weapons. Attacks in the cyber domain evolve so rapidly that legal arrangements cannot cope with meeting security requirements and need to be frequently updated. On the other hand, new threats, such as &amp;ldquo;cyberterrorism,&amp;rdquo; necessitate wide-scope interpretation of the norms in international law. Turkey has taken several counter-cyberterrorism precautions. The establishment of the Cybersecurity Council, the adoption of the National Cybersecurity Strategy and of the 2013-2014 Action Plan are major steps in this regard. The rapid development in communication technologies has removed the national boundaries, increasing and gradually deepening the interaction between countries. Therefore, in order to strengthen cybersecurity efforts, it is necessary to further international cooperation as well as the cooperation between local public authorities and the private sector.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antonia Todorova</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Turkish Security Discourses and Policies: The Kurdish Question</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Information &amp; Security: An International Journal</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ISIL</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kurdish question</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PKK</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">security discourse</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Terrorism</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Turkey</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2015</style></date></pub-dates></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">33</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">108-121</style></pages><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A multidimensional problem with lengthy history, the so-called “Kurdish Question” has been one of the most important domestic security challenges that Turkey has had to face since the early 1980s. In this paper, the Kurdish issue is put in the broader framework of Turkey’s security concept and foreign policy, along with explanation of the specifics and dynamics in Turkish politics. The relations between the Kurdish groups in the Middle East region were taken in consideration, as well as the emergence of the jihadist group of ISIL. A special focus on security perceptions and results of EvoCS project is presented at the beginning.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2</style></issue></record></records></xml>
