Turkish-Russian Relations
As the two most influential and powerful actors in Eurasia the nature of the Turkish-Russian relationship affects the situation in the Black Sea, South Caucasus, Central Asia and Middle East and steers the foreign policy formulations of both regional states and global powers. Examining post-Cold War relations between Eurasia’s most prominent actors, this book takes into account regional dynamics and global power struggles and identifies three important stages in Turkish-Russian relations during the period. Using complex interdependency theory the author offers valuable insights into the initial confrontational period and its transition to an atmosphere of compromise, cooperation and the evolution of multi-dimensional partnership. Leadership theory then explains the most recent deterioration in rapport as crises in Syria and Ukraine have placed severe strain on the previously warm bilateral relations.

Turkey-Russia Relations in the Twenty-First Century
Turkey and Russia are two of the most significant powerhouses in Eurasia. The foreign policies of two countries directly impact the regional dynamics in Black Sea, Central Asia, Middle East, Eastern Europe, and the Balkan regions. The changes in the bilateral relations between the two countries go well beyond the Black Sea region. In the past, the Russian Empire played a significant role in the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, and Turkey took part in containing the USSR during the Cold War by joining the NATO in 1952. In the twenty-first century, however, Turkey and Russia invested in bilateral trade and established significant partnerships in the strategic defense and energy sectors. In the same period, the competition between Turkey and Russia heightened, giving way to military confrontation in multiple fronts. This book argues that the changing balance of power in the region has triggered adjustments in the foreign policies of Russia and Turkey in the twenty-first century. The decline of the US influence in the region have brought about increased engagement between Turkey and Russia in the form of partnerships and competition for influence.
Exploring Emotions in Turkey-Iran Relations
This book explores emotional-affective implications of partnership and rivalry in Turkey-Iran relations. The main proposition of this research underlines the theoretical need to reconnect psycho-social conceptualizations of “emotionality,” “affectivity,” “normativity,” and “relationality.” By combining key theoretical findings, the book offers a holistic conceptual framework to better analyze emotional-affective configuration of relational rules and roles in trans-governmental neighborhood interactions. The empirical chapters look at four consecutive periods extending from the end of First World War (November 1918) to the resuscitation of US sanctions against Iran (November 2...
Turkey, Russia and Iran in the Middle East
This book explores the complexity of the Syrian question and its effects on the foreign policies of Russia, Iran, and Turkey. The Syrian crisis has had a major effect on the regional order in the Middle East. Syria has become a territory where the rivalry between Russia and Western powers is being played out, and with the West’s gradual withdrawal, the conflict will without a doubt have lasting effects locally and on the international order. This collection focuses on the effects of the Syrian crisis on the new governance of the Middle East region by three political regimes: Russia, Iran, and Turkey. Many articles and a number of books have been written on this conflict, which has lasted over ten years, but no publication has examined simultaneously and comparatively how these three states are participating in the shared management of the Syrian conflict.
THE CHANGING PERSPECTIVES AND ‘NEW’ GEOPOLITICS OF THE CAUCASUS IN THE 21ST CENTURY
The change of the geopolitical realities and dynamics, the latest regional developments and the emergence of a new perception of security due to the new situation in Karabakh have changed current perspectives in the South Caucasus region.

After the last development and Russian direct involvement in th...
Karabakh
On September 27, 2020, regional clashes erupted following a provocative Armenian attack on the front line, leading to a reemergence of the dragged-out Karabakh conflict onto the world agenda. When the clashes first started, few could have guessed that this period would be known as the “Second Karabakh War” and that it would lead to key outcomes in a short time span. With the influence of various factors on the war, especially Turkey’s support, Azerbaijan liberated an important segment of its occupied lands, dealing a clear defeat to Armenia. This war is an important turning point in terms of reversing the status quo which had been attempted to be imposed on Azerbaijan for nearly 30 yea...
Dağlık Karabağ Sorunu: Dar Alanda Büyük Oyun
Güney Kafkasya bölgesinde iki devlet arasında çözüme kavuşturulamamış en uzun süreli çatışma olma özelliğini koruyan Dağlık Karabağ sorunu, çözüme yönelik girişimlerde yer alan uluslararası örgütlerin varlığı ile uluslararası bir nitelik kazanmıştır. 1994 yılında imzalanan ateşkes anlaşması sonrasında ihtilaflı taraflar arasında Avrupa Güvenlik ve İşbirliği Teşkilatı (AGİT) bünyesinde oluşturulan Minsk Grubu’nun girişimleriyle barış görüşmeleri yapılmaya başladıysa da Azerbaycan ve Ermenistan’ın mutabık olduğu bir anlaşma üzerinde karar kılınamamıştır. Ateşkes Anlaşması’nın dönem dönem artan oranda ihlal edilmes...
ABD'nin Barack Obama Dönemi Suriye Politikası
Tarihler 17 Aralık 2010 yılını gösterdiğinde Ortadoğu ve Kuzey Afrika’da yer alan ülkelerin bir çoğunda toplumsal hareketler meydana gelmiştir. Bu hareketlerin en kanlı çatışmalara sahne olduğu ülke ise Suriye olmuştur. Arap Baharı adı verilen bu halk ayaklanmalarının devam ettiği dönemde ABD başkanlık koltuğunda Barack Obama bulunmaktaydı. ABD’nin ilk Afroamerikalı başkanı olan Obama, 11 Eylül saldırıları, Afganistan ve Irak’a yapılan müdahaleler ve sonrasında yaşanan 2008 mali krizi gibi gelişmelerin gölgesinde dış politika anlayışını şekillendirmek zorunda kalmıştır. Tüm bu nedenler ABD’nin Barack Obama Dönemi Suriye Politikası’nı incelemeyi önemli kılmaktadır.
Insight Turkey - Winter 2023 / Volume 25, Number 1 - Türkiye at the Crossroads
The regions surrounding Türkiye, i.e. Middle East, Eastern Mediterranean, Black Sea, and South Caucasus, continue to experience war, political instability, economic crises, and humanitarian problems. However, if we focus specifically on the Middle East, we can see that several paradoxical developments have taken place. On the one hand, many active crises exist in the Middle East, as both the global super-power rivalry and the Arab Spring continue to influence regional affairs. Specifically, some traditional issues, such as the Israeli-Palestinian question, continue to influence regional political balances. On the other hand, significant initiatives are leading to regional stability. Regiona...
