Acknowledgments
There are many people who helped me on this project that I would like to thank. I owe enormous thanks to Prof. Charles F. Doran, my first advisor, who enabled me to continue my studies at the Johns Hopkins University Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) in Washington, DC. I am grateful for his amazing advice, support, and guidance throughout the whole process and for simply being the best mentor one can imagine. I owe extraordinary thanks to Prof. Gordon Bodnar, my second advisor, for his highly inspiring insights, invaluable advice on all of the complex topics, and much needed encouragement during our long and intense discussions. I would like to thank the members on my committee who supplied me with very important suggestions and insights: Prof. Susan Aud, Prof. Tamara Woroby, and Prof. Henry Nau. I owe many thanks to Prof. Francis Fukuyama for offering me his time and invaluable advice on the topic despite his very busy schedule. I also owe special thanks to Prof. Zbigniew Brzezinski for his precious time and recommendations.
