description | The purpose of this article is to elucidate the changes in the security policy of
the Turkish Republic, brought about by both internal factors due to the peculiarities of
the state (e.g., the ethnic structure of the population) and external factors related to
changes in the international environment (location in the part of the Middle East
bordering the unstable areas of the Caucasus, the Balkans, and Iraq and Syria). After an
initial period when Turkey pursued a policy of neutrality in international relations,
there was a strategic turn toward the West after World War II. The last three decades
have been a period of restoring relations with countries in the region and building a
new security strategy based on the doctrine of deterrence and advanced defense, and,
since the civil war in Syria, assertive military activism. According to the author, the
overemphasis on hard power tools may contribute to the emergence of various types of
balancing movements (by state and non-state actors) that may threaten Ankara's
strategic interests. Balancing moves can cause geopolitical alienation and limit Turkey's
freedom of action, reducing the effectiveness of diplomatic efforts, which are an
essential tool for resolving international conflicts. The article draws on interviews the
author conducted with Turkish researchers. These included Ferhat Pirinççi of Uludağ
University in Bursa (7.11.2022), and Murat Aslan and Bilgehan Öztürk of the SETA
Foundation in Ankara (15-16.11.2022). |
