<p>'In <em>Turkmenistan's Foreign Policy</em>, Luca Anceschi provides welcome insights into the development of this fascinating country. He draws a comprehensive picture of the evolution of the Turkmen regime from the emergence and consolidation of Saparmurat Niyazov's personal dictatorship to the post-Niyazov era of President Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov, who, as Anceschi effectively points out, has so far provided more continuity than change in Turkmenistan's domestic and foreign-policy approaches despite his early promise to open up Turkmenistan's political system' - <em>Survivial, December 2008</em></p><p>'Anceschi’s book presents a great opportunity to fill the scholarly vacuum that continues to exist with respect to Turkmen studies. The book provides an in-depth analysis of post-Soviet Turkmen foreign policy...]' - <em>Grigol Ubiria, The Australian National University, Asian Politics and Policy 1(3) 2009</em></p><p>'Luca Anceschi’s book makes itself immediately valuable as a study that, without ignoring Niyazov’s cult of personality, looks beyond that regime’s eccentricities to provide an overview of Turkmenistan’s policy of positive neutrality'<em> -</em> <em>VICTORIA CLEMENT, Europe-Asia Studies, Volume 61, 2009</em><br />"As a whole, the book is a revealing read...It is based on an admirably broad selection of first-hand sources...The chapter on economic foreign policy, in particular, is detailed and impressive".<em> - Michael Pye, Asian Affairs, July 2010</em></p><p>"Luca Anceschi provides a unique, scholarly analysis of the evolution of Turkmenistan’s foreign policy in the post-Soviet era, as the country struggled to establish itself as an independent state in a turbulent neighbourhood... a well-written, thorough analysis of Turkmenistan’s foreign policy, which provides a fascinating insight into the evolution of a unique international stance." <em>- Tracey German, King’s College London, UK; International Affairs 86:6, 2010</em></p>
