    The decision-making process of Turkey deploying Turkish troops to Korea
    (2005) Tek, Hakan
    This thesis examines the foreign policy decision-making process and its functioning in Turkey (especially in Turkey’s troop deployment decisions) within the context of the Korean War. Turkish Foreign Policy (TFP) shifted with the changes in the international era after World War II. The threat perception increased resulting in Turkey joining in the United Nations and sending its troops to Korea in order to support the USA and to join NATO. The decision of sending Turkish troops to Korea was given and executed by a few leaders governing Democratic Party. Besides the disputes on the legality of the decision held at the Turkish Assembly the main argument was on the political outcomes (being excepted to western security institutions). So, by underlining how the decision was given, the governing party leaders were criticized rather than the decision itself. In the postCold War era, Turkish Foreign Policy was released from Cold War burdens and foreign policy options multiplied.

    The "Dominos" that need to fall into place for a reunification of Korea: making sense of a United Korea
    (Routledge, 2013) Harvey, M.; Kiessling, T.; Moeller, M.
    With the death of North Korea leader Kim Jong-il, the level of uncertainty will dramatically escalate in an already highly uncertain market. The question becomes, is there a market opportunity for Western organizations, and when should Western organizations attempt to enter North Korea? In addition, there is a large question looming over the potential changes in the country, that being, if and when reunification with South Korea will occur. This article examines the potential of a unified market on the Korean peninsula.

    (Bilkent University, 2020) Aydemir, Selver Sıla; Yiğit, Hüma; Gergerli, Güven; Şahin, Doğa; Erman, Nur
    26-30 Kasım 1950 tarihleri arasında Kore Savaşı'nda gerçekleşen Kunuri Muharebeleri, Kore'ye giden Türk Silahlı Kuvvetleri'nin ilk muharebeleridir. Kunuri Muharebelerinde Türk birlikleri Birleşmiş Milletlerin geri çekilmesinde zaman kazandırmayı amaçlamıştır. Türk askerlerinin Kore Savaşı'na katılması ve Kunuri Muharebelerinde üstlendiği etkin rol, NATO'ya girme sürecine katkıda bulunmuştur. Kunuri Muharebelerinde savaşmış askerlerden biri de İzzet Arslan'dır. İzzet Arslan Kore'de bulunduğu sürece pek çok mektup yazmış, köy odasına yazdığı bir mektubunda Kunuri Muharebelerinin gelişimini anlatmıştır. Bu mektuplar ve diğer kaynaklardan yola çıkarak Kunuri Muharebeleri incelenecektir.
