ABSTRACT While Turkish faith-based NGOs have been involved in delivering humanitarian aid for two decades, the relations of these organizations with the state have not received adequate scholarly attention. The main purpose of this article is to address this gap by asking what roles NGOs play in Turkey's humanitarian aid policy and practice. Despite the relative isolation of Turkey's administrative structure as a result of a strong state tradition, this paper shows that NGOs attempt to play political roles in Turkish foreign policy. The study relies on an analytical framework derived from constructivism to examine the agenda-setting and information-providing activities of Turkish NGOs between 2004 and 2016. Based on findings from a series of semi-structured interviews with 25 respondents from nine different NGOs and three state institutions, this artilce expands the research agenda on Turkey's foreign aid and shows that NGOs function as knowledge-providers, powerful catalysts for humanitarian aid activities, and influential voices in bringing humanitarian issues to light.

宗教非政府组织在土耳其人道主义援助政策和实践中的机构

摘要 虽然土耳其基于信仰的非政府组织参与提供人道主义援助已有二十年，但这些组织与国家的关系并未得到足够的学术关注。本文的主要目的是通过询问非政府组织在土耳其的人道主义援助政策和实践中扮演什么角色来弥补这一差距。尽管土耳其的行政结构由于强大的国家传统而相对孤立，但本文表明非政府组织试图在土耳其的外交政策中发挥政治作用。该研究依赖于构建主义的分析框架，以检查 2004 年至 2016 年土耳其非政府组织的议程设置和信息提供活动。
