Abstract

تفترض هذه الدراسة أن تركيا استفادت من المنافسة بين القوى العالمية في ظل حزب العدالة والتنمية، وهذا مكّنها من اتباع نهج أكثر استقلالية ودعم سياسة متوازنة بين الغرب وروسيا والصين. يحلّل هذا البحث التوسع في القدرة الاقتصادية والعسكرية لتركيا، وينتقل إلى التركيز على سياستها تجاه المنافسة بين الغرب وروسيا (بسبب حرب أوكرانيا) وكيف استجابت لـ"صعود آسيا". أخيرًا تحلّل الدراسة سعي تركيا لسياسة خارجية أكثر استقلالية، وكيف اصطدمت الدولة بالولايات المتحدة والاتحاد الأوروبي وروسيا، وبحلفائها على الأرض، وكيف استخدمت أنقرة سياسة التوازن الخاصة بها للحفاظ على غطاء لتلك التوترات.

Turkish Foreign Policy in the Face of Regional and Global Challenges

Abstract

This article posits that Türkiye took advantage of the deepening competition between global powers under the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) to part ways with its traditional foreign policy tradition and pursue a more independent approach. To put those claims to the test, this article primarily analyzes the expansion of Türkiye’s economic and military capacity and proceeds to focus on its policy toward the deepening rivalry between the West and Russia and how it responded to the “rise of Asia.”.
