Turkish Foreign Policy in a Challenging World Order
Turkish foreign policy has experienced turbulence and a dramatic shift after the Arab Spring. When the AKP government came to power in 2002, Turkey pursued a ‘Zero Problem Policy’ with the neighbouring countries, until the start of the Syrian crisis.
In the past decade, Turkey’s regional and global policy aims developed as an emerging power. The country’s ‘shift’ from the West in foreign policy has been also debated in recent years.
But as the developments show, Turkey remains in the ‘Western ship’ and has no intention of changing its classical ‘European orientation’’.
In tonight’s lecture, Hüseyin Bağcı will talk about Turkish foreign and security policy, and show whether and why this policy will remain deeply Western in general, and European in particular.
This lecture is organised in cooperation with the Turkish Student Association Maastricht.
