Employing the four categories of change as defined by Charles Hermann and the insight of Walter Carlsneas that the dynamic between structure and agency causally condition each over time, the article conceptualizes change in Turkish foreign policy under the AKP. This theoretical analysis of Turkey's foreign policy allows for the examination of the interplay of domestic actors with the regional and international systems including their economic, identity and security components. It also explores the impact Turkey's activism in the area has had in Turkey and among the people of the region. Finally, it raises key questions as to the future of Turkish foreign policy as the outcomes of the Arab Spring develop.

The Political analysis of the Syrian crises and the zero-problem policy with Syria
Arslantaş, Şenol; Bölükbaşıoğlu, Süha; Department of International Relations (2013)
This thesis aims to analyze both the evolution of Turkish-Syrian relations during the period of the AKP governments and the emergence of the Syrian revolt in March 2010.

With the newly-emerged political and social conjunctu...

This dominant account of the relationship has been that it is a contentious an...
