The event introduces a multi-dimensional comparative perspective on the Israeli-Turkish relations and provides comparative analyses from both Israeli and Turkish contributors. The panel will focus on the issues of state politics and ideology, leadership nationhood, economy, tourism, regional politics and energy relations in Israel and Turkey.

The event marks the launch of Ayşegül Sever and Orna Almog’s co-edited book ‘Contemporary Israeli–Turkish Relations in Comparative Perspective’. The book explores the Israeli-Turkish relations in the 2000s from a multidimensional perspective providing a comparative analysis on the subjects of politics, ideology, civil society, identity, energy, and economic relations. The contributors from both countries offer insights on the complex situation in the Middle East which is important for the understanding of the contemporary region.
