Neo-ottomanism in foreign policy of Justice and Development Party (AKP) in Turkey

Abstract

will be translatedTurkish foreign policy has gone through important changes since its establishment due to changing internal and international conditions. Even though its major orientation remained the same as well as its basic principles, the transformation of the global balance of power had important impacts over the Turkish diplomacy. In the last decade, marked by the outcome of the September 11 attacks in the international level and the AK Party rule in Turkey, the latter has taken important foreign policy decisions, which are mainly influenced by Ahmet Davutoğlu’s geopolitical approach, on how to deal with the new issues of the international scene. These can be seen both a continuation of Turkey’s traditional diplomacy line and a new vision implemented to better serve Turkey’s national interests.will be translatedwill be translatedwill be translatedwill be translatedwill be translatedwill be translatedwill be translatedwill be translatedwill be translatedwill be translated will be translated
