In this groundbreaking study, Begüm Adalet delves into the complex relationship between modernization theory and Cold War-era Turkey, with a focus on the pivotal role of US-led projects such as highway construction and hotel development. By examining the intersections of politics, economics, and culture, Adalet sheds light on how modernization theory was constructed and enacted in Turkey, revealing the country's unique position as a model for modernization and a partner in American imperialism. Through a nuanced exploration of the negotiations and translations that shaped these projects, Adalet challenges traditional notions of modernization theory and its impact on Turkey's political economy. By doing so, she offers a fresh perspective on the Cold War era and its ongoing legacies. This work will be of great interest to scholars of international relations, Middle Eastern studies, and cultural studies.
