Since the end of the Cold War, what kind of a new regional system would appear in parallel with this important change in international system in the Middle East both has been discussed in intellectual terms, and also has led to major power struggles among regional and external actors. This process has been affected both by international developments such as the 9/11 attacks and also by the changes taking place in the region. The U.S., which became a dominant power in the international system and in the region after the end of the Cold War, made several attempts to establish a new regional system in the Middle East. However, those attempts sometimes failed, sometimes were transformed, and sometimes led to unexpected consequences. Because each time the U.S. had to “negotiate” with regional actors and their policies. In this context, not only anti-U.S. Actors but also allies of the U.S. defied the policies of Washington. The process called “Arab Spring” appeared in such a context. This time, how is the regional policy being shaped in this critical process, which was not launched by the U.S. but in which the U.S. was involved afterwards? Lastly, this paper is seeking answers to this question. In this context, the article examines continuing and changing features of the regional system.

Orta Doğu'da Diplomasi ve Çatışma: Dış Aktörler ve Bölgesel Rekabetler Erpul, Onur (E-International Relations, 2018-11-01) The Middle East’s geographical and strategic uniqueness has made every great power in history to seek to advance its interests in the region. Yet, the region constitutes the greatest single reserve of oil in the world, which has made it a regular source of foreign powers interference in the post-World War II era. In addition to its geographical and strategic uniqueness, the Middle East is the birthplace and spiritual center of the world’s three most important monotheistic religions. Due to its...

Explaining cold peace in the Middle East: the cases of Egyptian-Israeli and Jordanian-Israeli peace processes Sütalan, Zeynep; Tür Küçükkaya, Özlem; Department of International Relations (2015) This thesis analyzes the Egyptian-Israeli and Jordanian-Israeli peace processes in terms of peace-making, the nature of the peace treaties, and peace-sustaining from the Arab perspective. These peace processes have not gone much further than ‘cold peace’ dashing the hopes for a ‘real peace’ in the region. This thesis argues that the ‘cold peace’ phenomenon evident in the cases of Egyptian-Israeli and Jordanian-Israeli peace processes is the reflection of the autonomy of the state since the authoritarian sta...

THE IDEOLOGICAL DISENGAGEMENT BETWEEN RUSSIA AND THE WEST: IMPACTS OF THE RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH ON RUSSIAN FOREIGN POLICY AND THE UKRAINE WAR Mergen, Yasin Mert; Kuşçu Bonnenfant, Işık; Department of Eurasian Studies (2022-10-6) It is vital to comprehend the ideological aspects of the Russian Federation’s assertive foreign policy to be able to make sense of developments observed in the post-Soviet geography. Understanding the deeper implications of Russian-Ukrainian War (2014 and 2022) necessitates the knowledge of how the Russian state formulates its national interests. Constituting an important dimension of changing metanarratives following the end of the Cold War, the ideational aspects of the Russian Orthodox Church play a role...
