Report from GMF’s new Trilateral Strategy Group tackles economic crisis June 04, 2009 / Istanbul, Turkey
GMF Senior Transatlantic Fellow Dr. Ian O. Lesser offers his summary and reflections on the debate from GMF's first meeting of its new Trilateral Strategy Group. Held June 4-6, 2009 in Istanbul, Turkey, the meeting brought together public and private sector leaders and opinion shapers to discuss policy challenges affecting the United States, Turkey, and Europe. In Istanbul, participants addressed "The Global Economic Crisis: Strategic Implications for Turkey, Europe, and the United States."
A multi-year initiative organized in partnership with the Turkish Industrialists' and Businessmen's Association (TUSAID), Koc Holding, and the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the final report underscores the potentially far-reaching social, political, and geopolitical consequences of the global crisis. According to Dr. Lesser, Turkey's troubled EU candidacy may be particularly vulnerable, against a backdrop of declining prosperity and confidence in Europe. But the crisis also raises larger questions about power and competitiveness, and offers opportunities to rethink longstanding approaches to Turkey in a transatlantic context.
