The Political Feasibility of the Istanbul Canal Project

Dr Tiryaki and Mensur Akgün co-wrote the 27th GPoT Center Policy brief, titled “The Political Feasibility of the Istanbul Canal Project”. The paper argues that the feasibility of the Canal Project is valid only after specific changes are made in the application of the Montreux Convention.
