Understanding Turkey’s Foreign Policy in a Changing World
This chapter looks at Turkish foreign policy. In recent years, Turkey—with its combination of economic pragmatism and soft power appeal as a Muslim-majority secular democracy with a conservative and pious Muslim leader—has fared much better compared to other Muslim-majority nations in global affairs. Discarding its former policies of disengagement in international politics, Turkey has transformed into a truly global player whose reach now extends beyond its geographic neighborhood. Indeed, Turkey has emerged in the twenty-first century stronger than it has ever been in its modern history, evolving from a peripheral player into Europe's most dynamic actor and economy.
