The fading of the post-WWII order called for Turkey to take on a new role in this new multi-centred and multipolar era with new players emerging from different regions. The new Enterprising and Humanitarian Foreign Policy is an effort to locate Turkey better in the 21st global politics. While the literature on principles of Turkish foreign policy is abundant, the actual mechanisms by which these principles are implemented in practice are still ambiguous to most scholars and foreign policy practitioners especially within the country's newly developed Turkish foreign policy framework. This edited volume therefore aims to shed light on this little-explored aspect of Turkish foreign policy. By critically analyzing several cases from different geographical locations, this volume explains why Turkey developed a new foreign policy framework, and by which mechanisms this new foreign policy framework has been implemented around the world. This volume also critically explores how the new Turkish foreign policy framework customizes its tools and capacities in different geographical regions around the world.

The Peoples Republic of China (PRC) diplomatic engagement with the Middle East spans multiple dimensions, including trade and investment, the energy sector, and military cooperation. Connecting China through the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean and Europe, the Middle East is a unique geostrategic location for Beijing, a critical source of energy resources, and an area of expanding economic ties. The Middle East geographical and political area is subject to different country inclusion interpretations that have changed over time and reflect complex and multifaceted circumstances involving conflict, religion, ethnicity, and language. China considers most Arab League member countries (as well as ...
For decades the partnership between North America and Europe has been a steady anchor in a world of rapid change. Today, however, the transatlantic partnership itself has become unsettled and uncertain. Nowhere is this clearer than in the economic sphere. Nonetheless, the European Union and the United States remain each other’s largest and most profitable markets. And as Europe changes, extended value chains across non-EU Europe have become important to the bottom line of many companies from the United States, Europe, and other parts of the world. Given both the danger of fragmentation and opportunities that exist for deeper economic interaction, it is time to consider new initiatives that...
Anzac Battlefield: A Gallipoli Landscape of War and Memory explores the transformation of Gallipoli's landscape in antiquity, during the famed battles of the First World War and in the present day. Drawing on archival, archaeological and cartographic material, this book unearths the deep history of the Gallipoli peninsula, setting the Gallipoli campaign in a broader cultural and historical context. The book presents the results of an original archaeological survey, the research for which was supported by the Australian, New Zealand and Turkish Governments. The survey examines materials from both sides of the battlefield, and sheds new light on the environment in which Anzac and Turkish soldiers endured the conflict. Richly illustrated with both Ottoman and Anzac archival images and maps, as well as original maps and photographs of the landscape and archaeological findings, Anzac Battlefield is an important contribution to our understanding of Gallipoli and its landscape of war and memory.
Soğuk Savaş sonrası yaşanan gelişmeler Türk Dünyasının önünü açmış ve bağımsızlıklarını kazanan Türk devletleri bir arada hareket etme imkânı yakalamışlardır. Aralarında ortak tarih, dil, kültür ve din bulunan Türk Devletleri hayal olarak tasavvur edilen fakat Türk Devletleri Teşkilatı ile gerçeğe dönüşen Çin Seddinden Adriyatik Denizine bir arada olma ve uluslararası sisteme etki etme noktasına ulaşmışlardır. Türk devletlerinin bu süreç içerisinde büyük bir güç olarak ön plana çıkmaya başlayan Çin ile olan ilişkileri tarih boyunca var olmuş ve bağımsızlık sonrası daha da önemli hale gelmiştir. Rusya-Çin-ABD bağlamında il...
Tek Kuşak Tek Yol Projesi, Çin tarafından tüm dünyaya tanıtılmış, yüzyılın en büyük ekonomik projesi olarak kabul görmektedir. Proje ekonomik yönü kadar uluslararası dengeleri değiştirecek, Rusya’nın Avrasya bölgesindeki hakim görülen gücünü yeniden sorgulatacak ve Orta Asya devletlerinin ekonomik ve uluslararası ilişkiler açısından yeni dönemlere girmeye başlamasına sebep olacak global bir proje olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Çin devlet başkanı Xi Jinping’in projeyi, Kazakistan’a gerçekleştirmiş olduğu bir ziyaret esnasında dünyaya deklare etmiş olması, Kazakistan’ın proje açısından ehemmiyeti yüksek bir ülke olarak değerlend...
Avrupa ülkeleri ya da Batılı devletler, ihtiyaç duyan ülkelere yüksek miktarlarda kredi ya da hibe verdiklerinde bu ülkelere paranın nasıl ve nerede harcanacağı, şeffalık ya da gerekli mekanizma ve kurum-lara sahip olmak gibi önkoşullar sunarlar. Ancak Çin devleti, görüldüğü kadarıyla, OBOR çerçevesinde verdiği kredinin nasıl ve nerede kullanılacağına çok müdahale etmiyor ve hatta Batı’nın para yardımı yaparken ortaya koyduğu koşulları iç siyasete müdahale olarak görüyor. Bilhassa gelişmekte olan devletler Çin ile aynı düşünceyi paylaştıklarından Çin devleti, Batı’ya karşı önemli bir para ve alternatif kaynak oluyor. Gelen yüksek m...
