Role of Identity and Elite Perception in Turkey's Foreign Policy and Turkish-American Relations.docx.pdf (original) (raw)
In this paper, I would like to discuss the Turkish foreign policy and Turkish-American relations in the context of social constructivism by discourse analysis through these identities changing according to the conjectures and élite perception. In the new era, both Cold War allies tried to reshape their security policies. Particularly the stability and democratic developments to take place in the region are very deep consideration of both sides. In this context, the Turkish model would be an important example for the regional countries to integrate with the international society. Otherwise, radicalization and the example of Iran could replace Turkey and the West. As a result, there are two ways to choose for the future of these countries; isolation and the animosity with the West or cooperative relation and partnership with international society. In my paper, I would also like to discuss the format of Turkish-American relations in the regional issues by taking into account of the Turkish model which has democratic experience as a Muslim country in the context of theoretical and paradigmatic discussions between democratic peace theory and social constructivist approaches to the international relations in the case of Turkey and Iran.
