"The Young Scholars on Turkey (YSOT) program, organized by the SETA Foundation at Washington D.C., completed its first year with an international conference in April 15, 2011. This volume draws on articles submitted by scholars who have presented their work to the Washington D.C. audience as part of the YSOT program. The main idea driving the conception of the program was manifold. First, it aimed to bridge the gap between the academic world and the policy world in discussions on Turkey. Second, the program was intended to contribute to the depth of policy discussions on Turkey specifically in the think tank world by relying on already accumulated academic knowledge. Third, it strove to offer fresh perspectives on Turkey by engaging academics at the beginning of their careers.".
