New Team, Same Mission
This is an exciting time to be taking on the editorship of the Journal of Global Security Studies (JoGSS). The discipline of security studies appears to us to be in a creative and fragmenting state, with more scholars analyzing more issues in more diverse ways. We have the previous editorial team to thank for helping to foster that diversity. The astonishing range of articles they have published in the past five years demonstrates that their aspi…
Turkish leaders and their foreign policy decision-making style
Using both quantitative and qualitative research techniques, we investigate the effect of leaders’ style and personality on foreign policy. The study examines six Turkish leaders, Süleyman Demirel, Bülent Ecevit, Necmettin Erbakan, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Abdullah Gül, and Turgut Özal, and 18 foreign policy cases to answer the following questions: do Turkish leaders differ from each other in terms of their personality traits and styles?; how did th…
Disintegration of the “strategic depth” doctrine and Turkey’s troubles in the Middle East
Personality or Role? Comparisons of Turkish Leaders Across Different Institutional Positions
Personality approaches to politics are often criticized for not examining the effect that institutional role constraints have on individual beliefs and preferences. When leaders appear to change their stance when they change roles, it is assumed that roles have a determining influence. Modern personality theory and contemporary sociological role theory, however, view the effects of roles as interacting with agents’ personalities. In this article,…
Examining leaders’ orientations to structural constraints
Research Methods in Political Psychology
Given the interdisciplinary nature of political psychology research, the methods employed to produce scientific knowledge should be able to answer the questions raised in the discipline. The multitude of methods used in political psychology offers a variety of options for those interested in conducting research in political science. This article explains the basic structure of experimental design, survey research, and content analysis and briefly…
Turkey at the United Nations Security Council
An important component of Turkey's ‘pivotal regional power’ status was its non-permanent seat at the UN Security Council in 2009–11. By focusing on two cases – the 2010 flotilla incident and the Iranian nuclearization – this study examines (1) Turkey's regional and global leadership role at the UN Security Council and (2) how the ‘rhythmic diplomacy’ principle of Turkey's foreign policy is exercised internationally. This paper also demonstrates t…

State Collapse and Islamist Extremism
When states collapse, so do the most obvious obstacles to violent extremism in their territory. Extremists seem free to recruit and operate from these areas without interference from state security forces. In reality, however, state collapse creates as many constraints as opportunities for extremists. This paper problematizes the commonly held view that there is a strong link between state collapse and the rise of extremism, in particular Al Qaed…

Decisionmaking Process Matters
This article suggests that the nature of the decision unit and the decisionmaking rules influence the foreign policy decisionmaking process. This is especially the case in “complex” foreign policy decisions. We discuss two such cases from the Turkish context—the decision to intervene militarily in Cyprus in 1974 and the decision to accept the EU candidacy offer during the Helsinki Summit in 1999—by applying the “decision‐units” framework. Our fin…
