Abstract
The present article examines a tremendous, yet hidden, transition in Türkiye's roadmap from “Neo-Ottomanism” to “the Century of Türkiye,” a shift marked by a reorientation of the long-term objectives in its foreign policy. What are the key drivers behind Türkiye's transition from Neo-Ottomanism to the Century of Türkiye? How has this shift impacted Türkiye's domestic, regional, and international politics? These are the central questions that guide the analytical narrative of the research. By employing a process-tracing method and novel readings of geopolitics to analyze this strategic transformation, our findings suggest that Türkiye's failed policies in the Middle East in the 2010s and internal power shifts have led to a new era of Turkish nationalism and Eurasianism. We also argue that at the regional level, Türkiye seeks to establish itself as a transit hub and energy corridor, while globally it adopts a hedging strategy to reduce risks and tensions.
