Globalization and Regional Conflicts: A Case Study - Türkiye’s Foreign Policy

Abstract

Globalization has reshaped international relations, influencing how states navigate regional conflicts and pursue their foreign policy objectives. This article examines the interplay between globalization and regional conflicts, focusing Türkiye as a case study. The study evaluates and emphasizes the political, social, economic and international background. Türkiye’s unique geopolitical position bridging Europe, Asia, and the Middle East has made it a critical actor in regional conflicts, from Syria to the Eastern Mediterranean, including Russia and Ukraina, Hamas and Israel. The specificities determine a comprehensive analysis of Türkiye’s foreign policy in the context of globalization and regional conflicts. The aim of this research is to analyze how Türkiye navigates its role within the global framework while addressing regional tensions and conflicts that influence its foreign policy objectives. Utilizing a qualitative methodology that combines theoretical analysis and case studies, this study integrates perspectives from realism, liberalism, and constructivism to understand Türkiye’s strategic maneuvers in the face of globalization pressures. The findings reveal that Türkiye employs a multifaceted foreign policy that balances national security concerns, economic interests, and cultural identity, contributing to both regional stability and tension. Using narrative and historical qualitative research models and available data, the article focuses on evaluating the continuous dialectical method within the framework of assessing globalization and regional conflicts and their structural elements. The significance of this research lies in its contribution to the understanding of how globalization shapes state behavior in contexts marked by conflict, with implications for policymakers and scholars in international relations.
