Turkish Policy Quarterly


Turkish Policy Quarterly is an Istanbul-based quarterly magazine aiming to foster original thinking and constructive policy debates on Turkey and its neighborhood. It was established in 2002.

Overview

The magazine has been included in EBSCO's online databases since 2007. Abbreviated versions of leading articles are published in Hürriyet Daily News. The magazine also translates abbreviated versions of selected articles into Turkish for reprint in various Turkish daily newspapers, as well as online news portals, such as ABHaber and EurActiv.
The magazine is financed by advertisements, subscriptions, and sales in bookstores, but also relies on in-kind support and volunteers. In addition, issue-based partnership has been pursued with various organizations such as NATO's Public Diplomacy Division, the EU Commission, and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation.

Roundtables

In addition to its publications, "Turkish Policy Quarterly Roundtable Meetings" are organized several times a year. They primarily aim to discuss articles of newly published issues and to evaluate recent developments in world politics. Between 2002 and 2006, most panel members consisted of contributors to the magazine. Since 2006, the round-tables have attracted the attention of prominent figures from politics, civil society, and the media as well.
Sponsors of the round-tables include the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, Friedrich Naumann Foundation, German Marshall Fund of the United States–Black Sea Trust, Istanbul Bilgi University, and Kadir Has University.
