Turkey’s relations with Italy (1932-39): realities and perceptions Doğar, Mehmet; Boyar, Ebru; Department of International Relations (2020) This thesis examines Turkey’s relations with Italy between 1932 and 1939 through key historical events and analyses the role of Italy in Turkish foreign policy making. In so doing, it underlines the complex and multifaceted nature of the relations between the two countries and challenges the widely-held axiom in the secondary literature that the relations evolved from friendship to enmity in a unilinear way. This thesis argues that what defined the relations between these two Mediterranean countries in the ...
Turkey’xxs Role in Middle East and Gulf Security Tür Küçükkaya, Özlem (null; 2019-07-18) This article analyses Turkey’s foreign policy in the Middle East and the Gulf region. It argues that Turkey’s activism in the first decade of the 2000s enabled it to put into play its soft power in the region and the new principles of its foreign policy under Ahmet Davutoğlu made it one of the major countries in regional politics. This has radically changed with the advent of the Arab Uprisings. Turkey has found itself a party to the civil war in Syria and lost its major ally, the Muslim Brotherhood in Egyp...
Turkish-American relations from 1964 to 1980: the period of crisis Kalender, Yasemin Ece; Bağcı, Hüseyin; Department of International Relations (2019) Turkey and the USA, allies under the umbrella of NATO since 1952, witnessed certain disagreements from 1964 to 1980, unlike the period from 1947 to 1964 which was the “golden age” or full convergence of Turkish-American relations.

Turkey as an 'Emerging Donor' and the Arab Uprisings Altunışık, Meliha (2014-09-02) The Justice and Development Party (AKP) government, which came to power in 2002, has increasingly been using aid as an instrument of foreign policy, including in the Arab world. This increased with the Arab uprisings and has peaked with the ongoing civil war in Syria, reaching $2 billion in 2012. Despite substantial changes in the amount and geographical coverage of aid after the 'Arab Spring', there are also substantive continuities in Turkey's aid policy. The AKP has been focused on security and stability...
