It is written in order to analyse the dynamics of the economic cooperation between </p> <p>these two countries and the affects of the US sanctions on these dynamics, not to provide an economic </p> <p>and mathematical analysis or to test the validity of the adopted theory. Neo-Gramscian conception </p> <p>of “historical bloc” is the basic element of the conceptual framework of this paper. It is asserted that </p> <p>Turkey and Iran, especially since 2000’s, have been the constituents of rival historical blocs. The main </p> <p>arguments of this paper can be summarized as the following: (i) The economic relations between Iran </p> <p>and Turkey must be evaluated with respect to the political tendencies within these countries and their </p> <p>positions in the world order, not merely in terms of cooperation or competition between the two. The </p> <p>effects of US sanctions upon the bilateral economic relations can be analyzed within this context. (ii) </p> <p>US sanctions had enabling and restraining effects on Iran-Turkey economic relations. (iii) These effects </p> <p>have been shaped by the dynamics of the world order, the position of the political elites of Iran and </p> <p>Turkey within the world order and their relations with USA. In this context, firstly, the fundamental </p> <p>concepts of the analysis of the subject matter is explained, then, it is attempted to provide certain </p> <p>identifications about the positioning of Iran and Turkey within the current world order. After providing </p> <p>an overall assessment of the economic relations between Iran and Turkey, the focus directed towards </p> <p>the enabling and restraining effects of the US sanctions on the economic relations between Iran and </p> <p>Turkey; and here, it is attempted to take under consideration especially the political struggles inside </p> <p>both of the countries and the approaches of the powers of both of the countries towards the world </p> <p>order. In this paper, the method pursued is an analysis of the data provided by literature review through </p> <p>the concepts of Neo-Gramscian theory; a qualitative comparison between the approaches of the two </p> <p>states towards the world order is used; and with regard to the discussions in domestic politics of Iran </p> <p>about the sanctions, news sources in Persian are used. </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Marmara Üniversitesi}
