This study aims to examine the foreign policy orientation of the Republican People’s Party (CHP) during 2003 and 2005. Thus, four major foreign policy issues during this period will be scrutinized. These issues are namely, Turkey’s EU membership process, the Cyprus problem, the US-Turkey relations and the Armenian question. Taking into consideration the current development concerning these issues, this study will focus on the views and reactions of the CHP. In this respect, the main determinant factors behind the foreign policy stance of the party will be discussed. Finally, comparing the foreign policy understanding of the CHP in the past, the study will focus on the question whether the CHP of today constitutes continuation or a shift from the past CHP administrations. At the end of the study, the results of a research issued at the current CHP deputies so as to evaluate their foreign policy orientations will be revealed.

Change and continuity in Russia's relations with The United States in Eurasia (2000-2005) Dereli, Pınar; Tanrısever, Oktay Fırat; Department of Eurasian Studies (2006) This thesis seeks to analyze change and continuity in Russia’s relations with the United States (US) in Eurasia under the leadership of Vladimir Putin between 2000 and 2005.

The September 11 terrorist attacks have only facilitated the implem...
A Historical Materialist Analysis of Turkish Foreign Policy: Class, State, and Hegemony Yalvaç, Faruk (Uluslararasi Iliskiler Dergisi, 2016-01-01) This article aims to develop a historical materialist analysis to analyse Turkish Foreign Policy (TFP) as part of what I refer to as critical foreign policy studies. The paper utilises a critical political economy approach to TFP based on the Gramscian concept of hegemony and extends it to analyse different foreign policy strategies as hegemonic projects developed by ruling capital classes to sustain their rule. The paper also presents the concept of hegemonic depth to resolve the antinomies involved in und...
