After the Second World War, Turkey and Egypt were among the most dynamic actors in
the Middle East. Their 1950s foreign policies presented a puzzle, however: Turkey's
Democrat Party pursued NATO membership and sponsored the pro-Western Baghdad Pact
regionally, while Egypt's Free Officers promoted neutralism and pan-Arab alliances.
This book asks why: what explains this divergence in a shared historical space? Rethinking
foreign policy as an important site for the realisation of nationalist commitments,
Abou-El-Fadl finds the answer in the contrasting nation making projects pursued by
the two leaderships, each politicised differently through experiences of war, imperialism
and underdevelopment. Drawing on untapped Turkish and Arabic sources, and critically
engaging with theories of postcolonial nationalism, she emphasises local actors' agency
in striving to secure national belonging, sovereignty and progress in the international
field. Her analysis sheds light on the contemporary legacies of the decade which cemented
Turkey's position in the Western bloc and Egypt's reputation as Arab leader
