Turkey represents and spearheads a powerful trend in global politics: regional or middle powers demanding a greater say in their regional affairs, and heightened status in international politics. From the Black Sea, to the Middle East, the Balkans and its footprint across Africa, Turkey pursues an active and ambitious foreign policy. Meanwhile, Ankara maintains close relations with competing global powers. However, questions remain about the long-term sustainability of this policy.
The session will cover:
- How does Turkey navigate the global (dis)order?
- What is Ankara’s foreign policy ambition?
- How does Turkey’s foreign and domestic politics reshape each other?
- What constraints and fragilities does it face in its foreign policy aspirations?
- Where does Turkey’s international future lie?
A drinks reception will follow this session.
