"Abstract:Most analysts agree that Turkey's foreign policy is essentially peaceful, using diplomacy and multilateralism in the resolution of its conflicts with other states. Here, Umut Uzer offers a necessary corrective to this standard analysis by revealing the Kemalist influence in Turkey's state ideology. This defined the identity of the state as Turkish, resulting in responsibilities towards Turks residing beyond its borders, and a more engaged foreign policy that ranged from declarations of support for ethnic kin outside Turkey to outright takeover of territory."

"After the Second World War, Turkey and Egypt were among the most dynamic actors in the Middle East. Their 1950s foreign policies presented a puzzle, however: Turkey's Democrat Party pursued NATO membership and sponsored the pro-Western Baghdad Pact regionally, while Egypt's Free Officers promoted neutralism and pan-Arab alliances. This book asks why: what explains this divergence in a shared historical space? Rethinking foreign policy as an important site for the realisation of nationalist commitments, Abou-El-Fadl finds the answer in the contrasting nation making projects pursued by the two leaderships, each politicised differently through experiences of war, imperialism and underdevelopment. Drawing on untapped Turkish and Arabic sources, and critically engaging with theories of postcolonial nationalism, she emphasises local actors' agency in striving to secure national belonging, sovereignty and progress in the international field. Her analysis sheds light on the contemporary legacies of the decade which cemented Turkey's position in the Western Bloc and Egypt's reputation as Arab leader."

"Penelitian ini menganalisis perubahan kebijakan luar negeri Turki terhadap Suriah. Analisis dalam penelitian ini mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor penyebab yang melandasi Turki mengubah kebijakan luar negerinya sejak konflik sipil terjadi tahun 2011 di Suriah. Tesis ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif yang berdasarkan pada causal process tracing sebagai teknik analisis data. Dengan kerangka analisis politik luar negeri, penelitian ini menemukan adanya faktor internal dan eksternal sebagai pembentuk perubahan kebijakan luar negeri. Faktor internal terdiri dari isu politik identitas, pragmatisme ekonomi, dan peran kelompok kepentingan. Kemudian, faktor eksternal terdiri dari ancaman eksistensial, guncangan eksternal, desakan publik, dan persaingan di kawasan. Berdasarkan perangkat analisis tersebut, penulis menyimpulkan bahwa perubahan sikap Turki dilandaskan pada kepentingan nasionalisme Turki yakni mencegah terbentuknya Negara Kurdi di Suriah Utara, mengendalikan kelompok Islam Radikal di Suriah, membentuk pemerintahan baru di Suriah sesuai dengan kehendak Turki, menguasai akses sumber energi di Suriah, dan melindungi wilayah kedaulatannya dari ancaman dan efek limpahan konflik Suriah. Berdasarkan hasil analisis tersebut, penelitian ini menawarkan dua rekomendasi penting. Pertama, secara akademik yang menawarkan penyempurnaan lebih lanjut dari teori perubahan politik luar negeri dengan menggabungkan pendekatan berbasis struktur dan agen. Kedua, rekomendasi kebijakan yang menawarkan secara idealitas bahwa Turki harus mengembalikan karakteristik politik luar negeri Zero Problem with Neighbour yang cenderung mengedepankan soft power dibanding hard power.

This study analyzes the changes in Turkey's foreign policy towards Syria. The analysis in this study identifies the causal factors that underlie Turkey's change in its foreign policy since the civil conflict occurred in 2011 in Syria. This thesis uses a qualitative research method based on causal process tracing as a data analysis technique. With the framework of foreign policy analysis, this research finds internal and external factors as the shapers of foreign policy changes. Internal factors consist of identity politics, economic pragmatism, and the role of interest groups. Then, external factors consist of existential threats, external shocks, public pressure, and competition in the region. Based on this analysis, the authors conclude that Turkey's policy changes are based on the interests of Turkish nationalism, namely preventing the formation of a Kurdish State in Northern Syria, controlling Radical Islamic groups in Syria, forming a new government in Syria under Turkey's will, controlling access to energy sources in Syria, and protect its sovereign territory from the threats and spillover effects of the Syrian conflict. Based on the analysis results, this study offers two important recommendations. First, academically that offers a further refinement of the theory of foreign policy change by combining a structure-based and agency-based approach. Second, policy recommendations offer ideals that Turkey must restore the characteristics of a "Zero Problem with Neighbor" foreign policy, which tends to prioritize soft power over hard power."
