The United States and Greek-Turkish Relations: The Guardian’s Dilemma

Spyros Katsoulas, "The United States and Greek-Turkish Relations: The Guardian’s Dilemma "
English | ISBN: 1032123370 | 2021 | 218 pages | EPUB | 769 KB

This book examines the role of the United States in Greek–Turkish relations and fills an important gap in alliance theory regarding the guardian’s dilemma.
