100 Years of Turkish-Japanese Relations: From History to Economy, Culture to Art

Japan and Türkiye, situated at opposite ends of Asia like two pillars of a bridge, have long maintained strong relations. These ties, spanning over a century, encompass historical, cultural, political, and social dimensions. Topaçoğlu and his contributors present a comprehensive analysis of Asia that deepens our understanding of the complex interplay between these two nations in the global arena.

Structured into three segments, the first explores the historical backdrop, carefully examining the evolution of relations between Japan and Türkiye while analysing their outreach to the West and Asian nations throughout history. The second examines various themes encompassing international relations, political science, and economics that critically examine the historical trajectory leading up to the present, shedding light on the evolving dynamics with other Asian nations. The final segment centers on media and cultural studies, education, literature, and the arts that provide detailed insights into Türkiye’s evolving engagement with other Asian countries. The book offers fresh perspectives and novel methodologies that challenge conventional paradigms by adopting an inclusive approach. Through a comparative lens, it illuminates the evolving contours of Japan–Turkish relations amidst shifting geopolitical landscapes. Furthermore, it serves as a catalyst for future research endeavours, paving the way for deeper insights into the historical, diplomatic, and socio-cultural dimensions of these nations.

A valuable resource for scholars and researchers in the fields of international relations, political science, history, cultural studies, and Asian studies in the context of Japan and Türkiye. The book will also be of interest to professionals involved in policy formulation and diplomatic practice, policymakers at governmental institutions, diplomats, and strategy consultants who are engaged in advising on international relations or geopolitical strategy as well as journalists, think-tank analysts, and the informed public who are keen on understanding the complexities of global geopolitics and both countries' evolving roles within it.
