ABSTRACT

This article examines prospects for Russian-Turkish cooperation in a number of areas, including energy, security, and in Syria. It argues that possibilities for a Russian-Turkish partnership have significantly expanded since 2016, while at the same time Turkey’s relations with the West have deteriorated. It suggests that both Russia and Turkey are revisionist states, seeking changes to the existing global order. While some aspects of their ties are clearly pragmatic, this article also probes how similar developments in their domestic political systems might also advance their relationship. While noting that tensions remain and much remains unsettled, especially with respect to Syria, it suggests that there is far greater possibility for a Russian-Turkish partnership than in the recent past.

抽象的

本文探讨了俄土在包括能源，安全和叙利亚在内的许多领域的合作前景。报告认为，自2016年以来，俄罗斯与土耳其建立伙伴关系的可能性大大增加，与此同时，土耳其与西方的关系也恶化了。这表明俄罗斯和土耳其都是修正主义国家，正在寻求改变现有的全球秩序。尽管两国关系的某些方面显然是务实的，但本文还探讨了其国内政治制度的类似发展也可能如何促进两国关系。尽管注意到紧张局势仍然存在，并且仍然有很多悬而未决的局面，特别是在叙利亚方面，但它表明，俄罗斯-土耳其伙伴关系的可能性比最近的可能性要大得多。
