'let the Black Sea Unite Us': the 1967 Soviet-Turkish Industrial Agreement and Ankara's Cold War Rapprochement With Moscow
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Isci, Onur; Hirst, Samuel J.; Bayraktar, Orhun
This article explores a turning point in Soviet-Turkish relations during the Cold War: the 1967 interstate agreement that enabled construction of the backbone of Turkey's post-war state-owned industry, including the petroleum refinery in Alia & gbreve;a, the steel plant in & Idot;skenderun, and the aluminium plant in Seydi & scedil;ehir. It shows that Turkish leaders were not unusual in their balancing of Western and Soviet aid, nor in their attempt to use state intervention to overcome underdevelopment. During the 1950s and 1960s, Jawaharlal Nehru and Gamal Abdel Nasser employed similar tactics for similar ends. What was indeed unusual, was that Turkey was the only NATO member to receive such significant Soviet industrial aid. To explore the Soviet approach and the Turkish response, the article uses recently declassified records from the Russian State Archive of Contemporary History (RGANI) and the Turkish state archives (BCA).

Turkey's Rushed Liberalization: Wartime Neutrality and the Devaluation of 1946
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Hirst, Samuel J.; Isci, Onur
This article reinterprets the Recep Peker cabinet's 1946 decisions to devalue the lira and deregulate foreign trade, which are often described as US-encouraged and liberalizing. The authors argue that alignment with the US did not dictate policy. They begin with World War II and show that, by 1944, Turkey had already been drawn into an Anglo-American international order. The authors then suggest that devaluation should be understood as a response: as a Europe-oriented policy with specific, short-term goals. They conclude that 1946 was less a radical liberalizing pivot than an attempt to address the difficult legacy of wartime neutrality.
