Charting the new Turkish foreign policy

Abstract

Turkey's foreign policy activism on a range of regional and global issues has sparked enormous interest in academic and policy circles in recent years. In a rather ambitious development, Turkey has undertaken steps towards closer social, economic, and political exchanges with its neighbours. The wave of popular uprisings that has swept through North Africa and the Middle East has also imbued Turkish foreign policy with a new dose of activism. While Turkey's policies in those specific issue areas have received close scholarly interest, what has been overlooked has been the conceptual framework that undergirds this new foreign policy vision.
