Call for Submissions
INSIGHT TURKEY
Insight Turkey is a newly refereed quarterly, published by the SETA Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Research under the editorship of Ihsan Dagi from the Middle East Technical University.
Currently in its 9th volume, Insight Turkey covers a broad range of topics related to Turkish domestic and foreign policy. It is a policy-oriented journal that aims to provide a forum for informed discussion on Turkish politics and foreign policy as well as its adjacent regions such as the Middle East, the Caucasus, the Balkans and Europe. Insight Turkey intends to present original thinking by knowledgeable observers both from Turkey and abroad.
We publish four categories of material. Comments are 2,000-3,000- word pieces that make a single, provocative point. Essays are more extensive 4,000-5,000- word pieces of analysis that comprise the body of the journal. Book reviews are 700-1,500-word pieces of new books. 'Letters to the Editor' are feedback from readers on material that has been published in previous issues. 'Letters to the Editor' intended for publication should be no more than 500 words and may be edited for space and style if selected.
We welcome unsolicited manuscripts and article proposals. All submissions should be accompanied by a brief note describing the author's current and past positions, recent publications, and relevant experience.
We accept submissions on a rolling basis. The following deadlines, however, are worth keeping in mind in order for a piece to be considered for a particular issue: for the Winter issue, January 10; for the Spring issue, April 10; for the Summer issue, July 10; for the Fall issue, October 10.
Any questions on these or related editorial issues should be directed to the Editor at insightturkey@ setav.org or contact Insight Turkey at (+90) (312) 405 61 51.

Resit Galip Cad. Hereke Sokak No:10 GOP Cankaya ANKARA, TURKEY
STYLE AND FORMAT GUIDE
Authors are responsible for ensuring that their manuscripts conform to the Insight Turkey style. The Editors will not undertake retyping of manuscripts before publication. Authors whose first language is not English should have their article read and corrected by a competent English linguist.
Particular attention is drawn to the following points:
Spelling
American spelling should be used throughout. Numbers from one to ten should be spelled out, other numbers should be given as numerals. Dates should be in the form April 8, 1999; 1996-99; the 1980s. Use percent rather than %.
Names
Use original spelling in languages that use Latin alphabet. For transliteration of all other languages (such as Russian, Chinese, Arabic, Persian, etc) into English, please seek advice from the Editors.
Sub-headings
Should be italic and in title case. Sub-sub-headings should be title case and underlined.
Endnotes
The number of notes should be kept to a minimum. They should be numbered consecutively throughout the article, using a raised numeral in the text, to correspond to a list of notes placed at the end.
In the list of notes, consistency is most important in references to books, articles and manuscript sources; note that initial capitals are used for all nouns and important adjectives in titles. Some examples are given below. All of the information shown must be included.
