The decision to erect the "Turkish Wall" was the result of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's government's desire to improve relations with the European Union, Russia, and the United States in the context of the Syrian Civil War. This article uses the concept of "fortified boundaries" as its framework to analyze the transformed border.

Mobilisant des niveaux de coopération inédits, le rapprochement entre la Turquie et la Syrie constitue un bon exemple pour comprendre jusqu’où Ankara est allée pour améliorer ses relations avec ses voisins moyen-orientaux, particulièrement depuis l’arrivée au pouvoir du Parti de la justice et du développement (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi – AKP) en 2002.

Get your free copy here. Regionalism and globalism are two of the leading phenomena in world politics. In the age of globalism, regionalism can be treated as a complementary and interacting phenomenon-or as a competing and conflicting one. Globalization creates powerful demands for regionalism that are not particular to one specific region, but to all regions. Considering the global-regional nexus as an unavoidably synchronized and complimentary set of processes concerning the Middle East, the chapter primarily draws attention to the state of regionalism in the Arab Middle East and its spillovers. With nationalist and protectionist trends on the rise with the election of Donald Trump in the US and the UK's Brexit decision, it is perhaps not a popular time for commenting on the state of regionalism in the Middle East. A scarcity of regional cooperation in the area has also led interested commentators and scholars to label the Middle East as "the region without regionalism" (Aarts 1999, 91) or a space of weak regionalism.

Ce repli stratégique et culturel, acté dans les années 1920 pour consolider l'État naissant après l'effondrement de l'Empire ottoman et refonder une nation turque débarrassée des influences orientales, a perduré jusqu'à la fin de la guerre froide. Le monde arabe et iranien était devenu l'Orient d'une Turquie qui se voulait fermement ancrée dans la modernité occidentale. Le contraste est aujourd'hui saisissant : la Turquie en plein renouveau, progressivement libérée des tabous du kémalisme, réinvestit rapidement le Moyen-Orient, devenu terrain d'expansion économique et d'expérimentation diplomatique. Elle se positionne comme une puissance régionale à part entière, sur le mode du soft power. Le Moyen-Orient est même parfois présenté comme l'alternative à une perspective européenne en berne. Mais les « printemps arabes » posent un sérieux défi au...
