Joshua Walker, '03, Publishes Article in The Washington Quarterly


Joshua Walker, ’03, recently published an article in the winter issue of The Washington Quarterly on U.S.-Turkish relations. The article was titled, “Reexamining the U.S.-Turkish Alliance.”

“Although the United States and Turkey have had serious policy disagreements in the past, there has always been an overarching strategic vision to keep the alliance intact,” Walker writes. “Now, with the absence of a common threat from the Soviet Union and with new civilian-military dynamics in Turkey, the future of the U.S.-Turkish alliance needs to be carefully reexamined.”

After graduating from the University of Richmond in 2003, Walker entered Yale as a Javits fellow in fall 2004 to pursue a master’s degree in international relations. He is currently a graduate fellow and Ph.D. candidate in politics and public policy at Princeton University. He has worked at the Turkey desk at the Department of State and has previously been published in several journals and newspapers.
