This edited volume addresses the foreign policy approaches demonstrated by the European Union (EU), Russia and Turkey towards their shared neighbourhood. These three geopolitical players play an essential role in the stability of the Black and Caspian Seas, the Mediterranean and the Middle East, determining the overall peace and prosperity in this common security complex. These regions are also characterized by fast-changing dynamics of political and social change within a sphere of geostrategic competition. By addressing issues of mutual perceptions, security provision and political and economic interaction, this volume provides a valuable analysis of pan-regional dynamics and a conceptualization of competition and cooperation.

The headscarf issue draws a great deal of public and academic attention in Turkey, yet the debate largely unfolds within the contours of the discussions over modernization, Westernization, and the Islamic / secular divide. Rarely is there a discussion about how the connotations of the headscarf shift across cleavages of class and status among women wearing it. Instead, the headscarf is typically portrayed as a symbol of Islamic identity, a 'cover' that brackets social inequalities other than those based on a supposed 'clash of identities.' This study looks beyond these contours by contextualizing the headscarf discussion in an insecure and low-status private sector labor market – namely, retail sales. Based on in-depth interviews, focus groups with lower-middle-class saleswomen with headscarves, and ethnographic study in five cities of Turkey, this book argues that the meanings of the headscarf are continuously negotiated within the quest for social and economic security.
