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.

Hâlbuki siz o adama geçen sene iyilik etmişdiniz. Ne tuhaf İstanbul’da insan denecek adam kalmamış. Herkes sa’âdetini, refâhını başkasının felâketinde arıyor. Zaten onun için kimsenin rahat yüzü gördüğü yok ya. Bâkî gözlerinizden öperim efendim.”
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...
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.

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...

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.
