ABSTRACT

Some scholars argue that Turkish foreign policy has undergone a structural change since 2002. This shift in Turkey’s identity is primarily linked to the ascendancy of the Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi – AKP) and its proactive foreign policy towards Turkey’s eastern neighbourhood. The change in Turkey’s identity and foreign policy is mostly intertwined with the Islamist identity embraced by the AKP, which can be traced back to the National Vision Movement (Milli Görüş Hareketi). This article aims to analyse what are said to be ‘newly’ established preferences in AKP identity and its reflections in Turkey’s foreign policy, particularly since 2009/2010. The main argument is that the emergence of this new ideological discourse has had immediate reflections on Turkey’s relationship with North Cyprus.

摘要

一些学者认为，自2002年以来，土耳其的外交政策发生了结构性变化。土耳其身份的这种转变主要与正义与发展党（AKD）的崛起及其对土耳其东部邻国的积极外交政策有关。土耳其身份和外交政策的变化主要与AKP所拥护的伊斯兰身份交织在一起，这可以追溯到国家愿景运动（MilliGörüşHareketi）。本文旨在分析在AKP身份方面所谓的“新”确立的偏好及其对土耳其外交政策（特别是自2009/2010年以来）的影响。主要论点是，这种新的意识形态话语的出现，立即反映了土耳其与北塞浦路斯的关系。
