Books and reports
  • Wigen, Einar (2010). Turkey and the Concept of Europe: A Conceptual History . Saarbrücken, VDM Dr. Müller. 132 pages. Turkey has changed from an Islamic Empire antagonistic to Christian states to a secular nation state, a member of NATO and a candidate for EU membership. This involves not only a significant shift in foreign policy towards Europe, but also a reshaping of Ottoman and Turkish identity. This book traces how the concept Europe has been shaped in this process over a period of about 200 years.
  • Wigen, Einar (2009). Turkish Neo-Ottomanism: A Turn to the Middle East? . Oslo, Den norske Atlanterhavskomitè. 21 pages. Security Policy Library 3-2009 .
  • Wigen, Einar (2009). Islamic Jihad Union: al-Qaida’s Key to the Turkic World?. Oslo, Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI). 43 pages. FFI-rapport 2009/00687. The Turkic peoples have assumed a relatively marginal role in global jihadism. The group Islamic Jihad Union (IJU) appears to have changed this and may give al-Qaida a foothold among radicals of the Turkic peoples.
