Description
Turkish foreign policy has undergone profound transformations in the history of the Republic, and specifically since the 1990s. There is a lively debate in academia as well as the broader public about the determinants and consequences of Turkish foreign policy. The 100th anniversary of the foundation of the Republic has further contributed to reflections about the development iof Turkey's role in international politics. Yet many of these assessments have been written from very particular angles and from very specific viewpoints. In this panel, we want to re-visit some of this work to which we have also contributed but take a step back and look at who the "principals" of Turkish foreign policy have been, while also providing a multiperspectival and more nuanced analyses of Turkish foreign policy, highlighting its ambiguities and turning points.
