Abstract

ABSTRACT Turkish foreign policy under the Justice and Development Party (AKP) has been the subject of much change, especially as regards relations with the countries of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). We create and analyze a novel dataset of Turkey’s treaties with MENA countries to offer and assess several arguments empirically. We find that Turkey became more diplomatically active in the MENA and emerged as a ‘trading state’ in the AKP’s first decade. In the wake of the Arab Uprisings, especially after 2016, Turkey became less diplomatically active and more security oriented. However, it did not necessarily lose all of the characteristics of a ‘trading state.’

正义与发展党领导下的土耳其在中东和北非的外交政策:实证分析

在正义与发展党(AKP)的领导下，土耳其的外交政策发生了很大的变化，特别是在与中东和北非国家的关系方面。我们创建并分析了土耳其与中东和北非国家条约的新数据集，以提供和评估几个实证论点。我们发现，土耳其在中东和北非的外交上变得更加活跃，并在正义与发展党执政的第一个十年中成为一个“贸易国家”。在阿拉伯起义之后，特别是在2016年之后，土耳其在外交上变得不那么活跃，更加注重安全。然而，它并不一定失去了“贸易国家”的所有特征。
