The essay addresses an outsider's perception of the characteristics and dynamics
of the IR field/discipline in Turkey. How may this country serve as a role model
or, at the very least, as a source of inspiration, reflection, or evaluation of the
field's development in other local/national settings? In this respect, Greece
is chosen as a case study. Βy addressing and assessing Turkish self-reflection
and the search for disciplinary identity within Turkish IR scholarship, what can
be learned, on behalf of Greek IR scholarship, regarding both Greece's and
Turkey's social scientific development regarding foreign affairs/policy? A major
theme discovered is the acknowledgement of the limitations of the dependency/
vulnerability-centered explanations for the development of IR.
