Why did Turkey shift its Middle East policy from soft power oriented approach to the security oriented one in the early 2010s? While Turkey prioritized diplomatic, commercial and economic relations during the first decade of the 2000s, it has increasingly used military means to influence the Middle East since 2011. The primary objective of this study is to ascertain the reasons behind this widely debated question in Turkish foreign policy literature. Unlike existing explanations, the main argument of the study is that the U.S. grand strategy towards Middle East appears as the most important causal factor shaping the nature of Turkey’s engagement in its region.

Neden Türkiye Orta Doğu politikasını 2010’ların başında yumuşak güç eksenli bir yaklaşımdan güvenlik eksenli bir yaklaşıma dönüştürdü? Türkiye, 2000’li yılların ilk on yıllık zaman diliminde Orta Doğu’da diplomatik, ticari ve ekonomik ilişkileri öncelerken, ikinci on yılda ise artan bir şekilde askeri araçları kullandı. Bu çalışmanın en temel amacı, Türk dış politikasında yoğun bir şekilde tartışılan söz konusu değişimin arkasında yatan nedenleri ortaya koymaktır. Mevcut literatürün aksine bu çalışmanın ana argümanı; ABD’nin Orta Doğu’ya yönelik grand stratejisinde meydana gelen değişimin, Türkiye’nin bu bölgeye yönelik angajman biçimini belirleyen en önemli nedensel faktör olduğudur.
