ABSTRACT

Taking the Anglo-Turkish Trade and Navigation Treaty, concluded in March 1930, as its focal point, this article investigates the relations between Turkey and Britain after the signing of the Treaty of Lausanne and suggests that the failure of the British government to understand the fundamental importance of economic independence for the governing elite of the new Turkish republic, combined with its conviction that the Turkish economy was failing, undermined Britain’s ability to assess developments in the country and to position itself accordingly.

英国和“一个贫穷的小农国家”：土耳其、英国和 1930 年的英土通商航海条约

摘要

本文以 1930 年 3 月缔结的《英土通商航海条约》为重点，考察《洛桑条约》签订后土英关系，并提出英国政府未能理解基本原则的问题。经济独立对于新土耳其共和国的统治精英的重要性，再加上其认为土耳其经济正在失败的信念，削弱了英国评估该国发展和相应定位的能力。
