Οι ελληνοτουρκικές σχέσεις made in USA : ο ρόλος των αμερικανικών ινστιτούτων πολιτικής ανάλυσης
Main Article Content
Abstract
About a thousand think tanks are actively involved in United States policy, more
than a hundred of them based in Washington D.C. In this microcosm of Washington
think tanks political and military strategies are worked out, scenarios reproduced,
sterotypes repeated; breaks are made with tradiotional approaches and 'exercises on
paper' are conducted, with or without consideration of what is feasible and achievable.
The reports and studies produced by various American think tanks with regard
to Greek-Turkish relations focus primarily on the question of the Aegean and of
Cyprus, though reference is also made, when such issues are in the news, to Thrace,
terrorism, and the general situation in the Balkans and the east Mediterranean.
There has been considerable activity in the sphere of Greek-Turkish relations since
the summer of 1999. The American factor has been playing an important role in the
rapprochement cultivated beween the two nations both at the goverment level and
through analysts in prominent American think tanks.
