Turkey’s relationship with the Gulf Arab States has gained momentum in the new millennium. There exists a wide range of arguments regarding the improvement of relations in political, economic and cultural fields and the factors leading to this development. In this study, the factors that shape the relations between Turkey and member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (the GCC) are analysed multidimensionally within the framework of domestic, regional and international factors as from the 2000s onwards. In this context, the policy assumed by AKP towards the Gulf Arab States, effects of new power balances emerging as a result of regional developments and reflections of the Middle East policy by the US in the new millennium over Turkey and the GCC countries relations are examined. Also, the effects of “Arab Uprising” process, which started in 2010, on relations between Turkey and the GCC countries are analysed.

Challenges of Safe Urban Speed Management in Developing Countries Türe Kibar, Funda; Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye (2019-06-20) Turkey, as one of the middle-income countries, is facing with an increasing motorization in the last decades. This situation also causes a major traffic safety problem on Turkish roads, where 7000+ people lost their lives, and almost 300,000 people get injured annually. When considering factors causing traffic accidents, ‘speed’ is a complex phenomenon which needs to be examined with more attention and different dimensions. This becomes even more problematic in urban regions that face large migration and th...
The Middle East in Turkey-USA Relations: Managing the Alliance Altunışık, Meliha (Informa UK Limited, 2013-06-01) The Middle East has been increasingly factoring into the relations between Turkey and the USA since the end of the cold war. Ironically, the issues related to this region simultaneously intensify and erode the bilateral relations. For the USA, the significance of Turkey has always related to some extent to the Middle East. For Turkey, on the other hand, during the cold war years this connection was not always welcomed. In the aftermath of the cold war, the Middle East became one of the most significant elem...
Worldviews and Turkish foreign policy in the Middle East Altunışık, Meliha (2009-03-01) Turkish foreign policy in the Middle East has become highly contested in the last two decades. The changes in the international and domestic environment have led to the emergence of competing ideas as to the elements of Turkish foreign policy in this region. This article argues that these ideas ultimately represent worldviews as they start with different assumptions about what Turkey is, what the basis of Turkey's interest and involvement should be in this region, to what extent Turkey should engage the Mid...
The Politics of immigration policy making in Turkey between 2002-2015 Devlet Karapınar, Yelda; Bağcı, Hüseyin; Rittersberger Tılıç, Helga İda; Department of International Relations (2015) Turkey is positioned at a significant spot within the international migration regimes; as very often called in the literature as “on the crossroads” between Asia, Africa and Europe. This connectivity to numerous emigration and immigration countries makes Turkey highly vulnerable to changing trends of international migration and requires Turkey to streamline its migration policy responses accordingly. Given Turkey’s evolving position as a regional power as well as an international actor, this study aims to a...
Rethinking the Tunisian miracle: a party politics view Yardimci-Geyikci, Sebnem; Tür Küçükkaya, Özlem (Informa UK Limited, 2018-01-01) Five years on from the Tunisian revolution, Tunisia stands as the sole success story of the Arab Spring. The country since then has managed to adopt a pluralist and democratic constitution, and held three free and fair elections. Accordingly, in the eyes of several observers, Tunisia is now in the process of consolidating its new democracy. However, the reality on the ground seems much gloomier, as most recent opinion surveys suggest that there is a significant degree of dissatisfaction, not only with polit...
