This book provides an overview of the complex and turbulent relations between Greece and Turkey, focusing on recent developments and the challenges in their bilateral relationship. It draws on a comprehensive array of international relations theories to suggest that sources of instability in the Aegean are found in security relations, identity and cultural discourses, and patriarchal and class societal structures. The chapters reflect on several questions about the role and significance of constitutive and non-constitutive elements in the Greek-Turkish policy and social arenas. They offer a better understanding of the bilateral interaction and why the Greek-Turkish relationship continue to hold the potential for traditional geopolitical antagonism and conflict, as well as why it is so hard to escape a security culture of hopelessly unresolved problems, enduring security dilemmas, crisis-prone geopolitics.
