Linkage Theory and Autocratic Regime-Survival Strategies in a Post-Liberal Order
At a time of authoritarian drift in many parts of the world characterizing a post-liberal order, this paper aims to contribute emerging literature on how domestic and international factors interact in shaping the foreign policy preferences of middle powers in this new epoch. Hinging on a synthesis of linkage and regime survival theories, the article argues that as the ‘inner-directed linkage’ of the West to those authoritarian regimes weakens, th…
The meta-geography of the Middle East and North Africa in Turkey’s new geopolitical imagination
This article critically analyses Turkish security discourses connected to the meta-geography of the Broader Middle East and North Africa (BMENA) before and after the developments of the Arab Spring. A critical geopolitics approach and critical security theories in international relations provide the theoretical framework, as security discourses are considered to be a product of geopolitical imaginations and codes that, in turn, shape the making o…

The 'Greater Middle East' as a 'Modern' Geopolitical Imagination in American Foreign Policy
This article aims at analysing how the September 11 terrorist attacks have caused the formation of a new geopolitical vision of an area called the ‘Greater Middle East’ and how this formation has led to changes in US foreign policy towards this region. To do that, the article first presents a theoretical background against which the modern geopolitical imagination of the USA is formulated. It considers the links between national traumas/myths, ge…
Anti-Americanism in Turkey
IN GU NEYAfter the Second World War, strategic collaboration between Turkey and the United States (USA) was not established on an already-existing relationship, since neither the USA nor Turkey had important strategic interests in one another during the interwar years (1919-39).Nevertheless, the interwar period had laid the groundwork and provided a logical basis for such cooperation.Prior to the First World War, Americans had already built up in…
Party Dissolutions and Democratic Consolidation
Political party competition constitutes an important component of democratic consolidation. In this respect, party dissolutions are generally regarded as impeding consolidation of democracies. This study addresses the relationship between party dissolutions and democratic consolidation, and offers an analysis of recent dissolutions of religiously and ethnically oriented political parties in Turkey. Drawing on Geoffrey Pridham’s distinction betwee…
An Anatomy of the Transformation of the US–Turkish Alliance
This essay examines the evolution of Turkish–US relations in three different time periods: the Cold War, the post-Cold War and the post-9/11 period. While the relationship was referred to as an “alliance” during the Cold War, established with a common interest to contain the Soviet communist threat, the post-Cold War period posed important challenges and transformed the relations first into an “enhanced partnership” and then into a “strategic par…

The future of Turkey in the European Union
Turkey's EU Candidacy and Civil-Military Relations

The authors examine the impact of Turkey's European Union (EU) membership candidacy on civil-military relations in Turkey. More specifically, they elaborate on the challenges and prospects for more democratic civil-military relations in Turkey as triggered by the EU candidacy.…
The USA’s Role in Mediating the Cyprus Conflict
This article is an attempt to assess the role played by the United States in the search for a solution to the Cyprus conflict both during and after the Cold War. The USA’s role in mediating the Cyprus conflict during crisis episodes is crucial for understanding the evolution of this 48-year-old stalemate. It was the superpower politics and containment strategy during the Cold War years that determined the course of action in US crisis mediation a…
The People's Democracy Party
AYLİN GÜNEYThe Kurdish problem has existed in Turkey since the inception of the Republic (1923), yet the formation of opposition parties, which brought the problem to the public space, did not take place until the end of the Second World War.On the other hand, Turkish law has always insisted that all political parties embrace the whole nation, banning, among other things, parties based on regionalism and ethnicity.It was after the first military …
The Military and the Consolidation of Democracy
Turkey's recent success in dealing with the threat of political Islam without the military taking power into its own hands cannot be explained by either of the two contending theories about the military's role in the consolidation of democracy, that of the 'mode-of-transition' or that of 'electoral dynamics.' Following the transition to democracy, officers in Latin America have evinced politically elite characteristics and have been in a tug of w…
The Military and Democracy in the Third Turkish Republic
In the mid-1990s, civil-military relations in Turkey came close to the liberal-democratic model. The military was essentially interested in contributing to public policy in matters it deemed important-matters that pertained to the internal and external defense of the country. Officers thought that they should make such a contribution not because they were the ultimate guardians of some substantive norms but because they had the necessary expertis…
