Abstract

Turkey is widely considered to be a middle power in the international system. The authors apply hierarchical, behavioural and ideational approaches to the foreign policy of Turkey: each of the three unveils specific features of Turkey as a middle power in the post-hegemonic world. It is argued that the behavioural approach to studying middle powers should be updated to distinguish ‘benign’ and ‘revisionist’ middle power strategies. The factors contributing to Turkey’s transition from being a benign middle power to being a revisionist one are holistically investigated.

世界霸权衰落下的中等强国转型：以土耳其为例

摘要

土耳其被广泛认为是国际体系中的中等强国。作者将等级、行为和观念方法应用于土耳其的外交政策：三者中的每一个都揭示了土耳其作为后霸权世界中的中等强国的具体特征。有人认为，应该更新研究中等国家的行为方法，以区分“良性”和“修正主义”中等国家战略。对促使土耳其从良性中等强国转变为修正主义国家的因素进行了全面调查。
