Analyzing all aspects of a decision\u0000made during a crisis is important in understanding how effective the solutions are. It is expected that an\u0000analysis of crisis and an investigation of the process from a wider perspective will be useful for better\u0000understanding of the Turkey’s reactions during the crisis when its RF-4E “Phantom” type air craft has\u0000been shot down in 2012. The reason of choosing this case study is the results of decisions taken duruing\u0000the crisis for Turkish foreign policy in the following periods. The article consists of the introduction\u0000part about the general overview of Turkish-Syrian relations, a part explaining the decision-making\u0000processes and decisions of political leaders as well as the polyheuristic decision-making model, a part\u0000with implementation of the model to the choosen case and a conclusion part. During the crisis Turkey\u0000has made decision to use military force by changing the rules of engagement and creating the positive\u0000perception in the international community. However, it was not contented with the decision to use\u0000military force alone. Turkey did not wait for the spontaneous reaction of the international community.\u0000Turkey has mobilized international forces like NATO. This means that two different decisions are made\u0000sequentially and quickly. Turkish political leaders have implemented the decisions in turn that had been\u0000choosen among the alternatives. It is expected that the study would contribute to the fi eld, improving\u0000researches on the decision-making processes with more comprehensive discussions in the future.\u0000Keywords: Syrian Crisis, Political Leadership, Polyheuristic Model.","PeriodicalId":355365,"journal":{"name":"“Küresel siyaset: Türkiye’den bakış”","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123786758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
