Turkish foreign policy and strategic partnership in Asia-Pacific Yoon, Hyunsoo; Tanrısever, Oktay F.; Department of International Relations (2019) This thesis analyses Turkish foreign policy towards Asia-Pacific by focusing on the diplomatic, economic and cultural aspects. In the 2010s, Turkey and the six Asia-Pacific countries have agreed to elevate their relationship into strategic partnership. Contrary to the views of several scholars who emphasize the continuity in Turkey's Asia-Pacific policy, this thesis argues that there are significant changes in Turkey's orientation towards this region as compared to Ankara's earlier policies. The thesis also...
Turkey’s Soft Power in a Comparative Context Altunışık, Meliha (null, Oxford University Press, 2017-01-01) This chapter focuses on the soft power of Turkey, comparing its engagements with the states of the South Caucasus (and Central Asia) to the countries of the Middle East. The chapter argues that for Turkey, the use of soft power was a tool to re-establish relations with, and acquire acceptance in, its neighborhood. In the case of the South Caucasus, Turkey attempted to reconnect with a region that it was cut off from for a long time due to the Soviet era and the Cold War. In the Middle East, there was an eff...
Turkish foreign policy towards Israel: the implications of Turkey’s relations with the west Turan, Tolga; Tür Küçükkaya, Özlem; Department of International Relations (2008) This thesis aims to analyze the Turkish foreign policy towards the State of Israel in a historical perspective and to examine how the foreign policy perceptions of the AKP Government having Islamic roots that came to power in 2002 affected this policy. The thesis argues that, historically, the Western connection of the Turkish Republic has determined the Turkish foreign policy towards Israel and the foreign policy perceptions of the AKP Government strengthened this connection rather than weakening it. It is...
Turkish Foreign Policy Toward Israel Through the Lens of Neoclassical Realism, 1949-2010 Emmert, Andrew James; Tür Küçükkaya, Özlem; Department of International Relations (2020-9) This thesis analyzes Turkish foreign policy toward Israel through the lens of Neoclassical Realist theory from 1949-2010. It specifically attempts to discern the various international, regional, and domestic factors that have contributed to Ankara’s foreign policy toward the Jewish state by examining the eras of bipolar (1949-1989), unipolar (1990-2001), and multipolar (2002-2010) international structures. By doing such the author believes that a fresh interpretation of nearly the entire course of Tur...
