The Republic of Turkey is the country that is the subject of the CIDOB International Yearbook 2011, a work of reference that also includes the customary chapters dedicated to an analysis of Spain's foreign policy, the international situation and Europe.

The present edition of the Yearbook is structured into three sections. The first chapter offers an analysis of Spain's foreign relations including three articles. Ignacio Molina and Juan Tovar co-author a text on Spain's foreign relations in the diplomatic sphere in 2010, secondly an article devoted in particular to the Spanish Presidency of the European Union during the first semester of 2010 is co-authored by Esther Barbé and Laia Mestres. Finally, an article on the Spanish economy in 2010 is signed by the prestigious economist Josep Oliver. The current economic and financial crisis is the common theme when dealing with the analysis of 2010 in the three texts presented. In this first section, appendices devoted to Spanish foreign policy include a chronology of the main events in the realm of foreign policy, analysis and statistics on foreign trade and investment, migration and international cooperation policy.

The second part includes articles devoted to global and European politics, starting with two analyses centered on political and economic International spheres.
