Strategic Culture of Turkey
Abstract
Rapid changes that occurred in the Turkish politics in the last 15 years also had a profound impact on the foreign policy vision. New dynamism resulted in revision of traditional principles in the Turkish foreign policy where views on deployment of military power has been occupied a central place. To understand these new developments we should grasp the nature of Turkish strategic culture, i.e. views, ideas and norms surrounding military power use outside national borders. Historical cases when Turkish decision-makers had to deal with security issues and were pondering over use of power may provide a factual background for formation of theoretical views on strategic culture of Turkey.
