The Turkish foreign policy (TFP) after the Cold War had been based on traditional institutionalized values. In 2009, the governing party consolidated its power and additionally, the international environment provided more space for decision-makers. As a result, the government seeks to change foreign policy preferences in accordance with its agenda. This article examines this change from a neoclassical realist perspective and argues that due to lack of systemic pressure, Turkey can seek new alignments in the Middle East, rather than overlapping its interests with the West.

理论化变革：土耳其外交政策的新古典现实主义方法

冷战后的土耳其外交政策 (TFP) 一直基于传统的制度化价值观。2009年，执政党权力进一步巩固，国际环境为决策者提供了更多空间。因此，政府寻求根据其议程改变外交政策偏好。本文从新古典现实主义的角度审视这一变化，并认为由于缺乏系统性压力，土耳其可以在中东寻求新的结盟，而不是与西方重叠其利益。
