The Role of Education in International Cooperation: The Case of Turkey and Sub-Saharan Africa
Öz
This article analyses the role of the cultural factor (education, grants
or exchange programs) in the international cooperation, namely the case of the
cooperation between Turkey and Sub-Saharan Africa countries. The place of the
cultural factor in the international politics is analyzed here through a
liberal vision: ‘soft power’, ‘public diplomacy’ and ‘exchange diplomacy’
concepts. Turkey and Sub-Saharan Africa States use these concepts as a strategy
in order to develop their political, diplomatic, economic and cultural
relations. Thus, in this paper, public diplomacy is seen as a ‘strategy’ for the development
of these relationships. Shortly, the students - future elites - trained through
Turkey-Africa scholarships program are contributing to the enhancement of
Turkey and Sub-Saharan Africa cooperation in both public and private sectors.
Therefore, it was concluded that Turkey is using more exchange diplomacy and
public diplomacy than the classical soft power in order to know Africa better
and develop its cooperation with this zone.
