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.

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.
