This volume summarizes synthesizes updates and contextualizes Turkey's multiple roles in
global governance. As a result of various political economic cultural and technological
changes occurring in the international system the need for an effective and appropriate global
governance is unfolding. In such an environment Turkey's and other rising middle powers'
initiatives appear to be indispensable for rendering the existing global governance mechanisms
more functional and effective. The authors contribute to the assessment of changing global
governance practices of secondary and or middle power states with a special focus on Turkey's
multiple roles and issue-based global governance policies.
