In this context, the economic sanctions, the Syrian civil war, the military conflicts in Iraq and the South Caucasus pose political and economic risks between Turkey and Iran. On the other hand, non-state actors and capital groups in particular play a decisive role in bilateral relations. While capital groups develop economic relations through foreign policy, they have also developed the concept of "trade diplomacy" and created institutional structures in this way. Trade diplomacy was seen as the basis for solutions in the field of political competition. The aim of this study is to analyze the role of the Independent Industrialists and Entrepreneurs Association (MÜSİAD), which has played a strong role in shaping Turkey’s economic policies and Turkey-Iran relations in the last twenty years. The article evaluates the IIBA’s economic perspective, the concept of "trade diplomacy" and the institutional structures created in this context. The organization, which has risen through its conservative identity, has adapted to secular capital behavior with its regional and global economic strategies.}, number={29}, publisher={Bingöl Üniversitesi}
