Abstract

Turkey has come to the forefront as one of the countries starting its initiatives towards Africa in the new international environment that emerged with the end of the Cold War period. Turkey had the advantage of creating a positive atmosphere to apply its historical ties and cultural similarities for the opening to Africa policy in 1998. Also, the declaration of the ‘Year of Africa’ in 2005 gave momentum to implementing soft power diplomacy in some parts of the region. In this context, the Somalia initiative has enhanced Turkey’s position to emerge as one of the active players in the region. The primary purpose of this study is to examine Turkey’s soft power diplomacy toward the African region, focusing on the Somalia initiative, its successes, and the limitations of that policy.
土耳其在非洲的外交政策:索马里倡议是土耳其软实力外交的一个测试案例(2005-2022)
作为在冷战时期结束后出现的新的国际环境中开始对非洲采取主动行动的国家之一,土耳其已走到前列。土耳其的优势是创造了一种积极的气氛,将其历史联系和文化相似性用于1998年的对非洲开放政策。此外,2005年宣布的“非洲年”也为在该地区的一些地区实施软实力外交提供了动力。在这方面,索马里倡议加强了土耳其的地位,使其成为该地区的积极参与者之一。本研究的主要目的是研究土耳其对非洲地区的软实力外交,重点是索马里倡议,其成功,以及该政策的局限性。
