Türkiye'deki dış politika aktivizmiyle ilgili mevcut açıklamalar iki önemli bulgu ortaya çıkardı. Buna göre, Türkiye'nin dış politika aktivizmi yirmi yılda önemli bir ölçüde arttı ve bölgesel yönelim ciddi bir ölçüde Batılılaşmadan Doğululaşmaya geçti. Bu argümanları test etmek için bu çalışma iki önemli araştırma sorusunu yanıtlamayı amaçlamaktadır: (1) Hükümetin dış politika aktivizmi yirmi yılda ne ölçüde değişti? (2) Hükümet, Ekim 2002 ile Ocak 2022 arasında uluslararası ilişkilerde hangi politika alanlarına öncelik verdi? Bu araştırma için özgün bir veri seti oluşturulmuş ve daha sonra Python aracılığıyla içerik kodlama tekniği ile kodlanmıştır. Karşılaştırmalı Gündemler Projesi (CAP) ortak kodlama şeması kullanılarak, 1270 uluslararası anlaşma, 21 ana politika alanına atanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları, hükümetin dış politika aktivizmindeki bölgesel yöneliminin ikinci yasama döneminden sonra önemli bir ölçüde değiştiğini doğrulamaktadır. Sonuçlar ayrıca şaşırtıcı bir şekilde bu yıllar arasında politika alanları arasında önemli kaymalar olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.

Existing explanations about foreign policy activism in Turkey have revealed two significant findings. Accordingly, the foreign policy activism of Turkey has enormously increased in two decades, and the regional orientation has firmly switched from Westernization to Easternization. To test these arguments, this study aims to answer two important research questions: (1) To what extent the foreign policy activism of the government has changed in two decades? (2) Which policy domains have been prioritized by the government in international affairs between October 2002 and January 2022? For this investigation, a novel data set is constituted and then coded by the content-coding technique through Python. Employing the Comparative Agendas Project (CAP) common coding scheme, the 1270 international agreements are assigned to 21 major policy domains. Research results confirm that the regional orientation of government in foreign policy activism has firmly changed after second legislative tenure. Results also surprisingly posit significant shifts across policy domains between these years.
