Reviews

'Diaspora diplomacy is an impressive study and an important contribution to the scholarship on diaspora engagement and diplomacy. It offers a compelling account of Turkey-diaspora relations under the AKP government, as well as more general insight into state-diaspora and diaspora-diaspora interactions. These empirical and theoretical accomplishments make the book an essential reading for anyone interested in diaspora diplomacy in general and Turkey's diaspora diplomacy in particular.' Jonathan Grossman, Mediterranean Politics 'Ayca Arkilic takes the reader on a journey starting from the early days of Turkish migration to Europe in the 1960s and ending in the early 2020s. She demonstrates the growing efficacy of diaspora diplomacy under the Justice and Development Party (AKP) that has ruled Turkey since 2002. Using first-hand data collected from French and German cases, she reveals how the AKP has instrumentalised the Turkish diaspora in Europe to accomplish its foreign policy objectives, at the expense of fragmenting it in a way that favours Sunni-Islamic narratives and groups.' Ayhan Kaya, Professor of Politics and Jean Monnet Chair of European Politics of Interculturalism, Istanbul Bilgi University -- .
