Insight Turkey invites submissions for its Summer 2010 issue on “Turkey and Energy Politics in Eurasia and the Middle East: Policies, Projects and Prospects.” We seek original manuscripts from scholars and practitioners, which offer theoretical reflections and in-depth analyses of the role of energy issues in Turkey’s international relations as well as in the surrounding regions. In this special issue, our goal is to showcase high-quality single case or comparative studies and stimulate a lively debate on the subject.

The topics suitable for inclusion in the special issue include but are not limited to:

-     Turkey’s energy policies
-     Turkey as an energy hub: challenges and prospects
-     Role of energy in Turkey’s regional policies
-     Energy security: implications for exporters and importers
-     Policies of Caspian, Central Asian and Middle Eastern energy exporters
-     Policies of the European Union and the United States
-     Geopolitics of natural gas and oil pipelines
-     The effect of global financial crisis on energy markets

Covered by major indexing and abstracting systems and databases, Insight Turkey is a refereed academic journal with a policy-oriented perspective. All submissions are subject to Insight Turkey’s editorial policy and must follow the journal’s style guidelines, which can be obtained from the journal’s homepage. Since the journal’s readership comprises specialists and non-specialists, authors should avoid jargon where possible and use a clear and straightforward language that is appealing to both groups.
