“…Even, the report of 2011 placed Turkey top of that category with 78 per cent, the only country with more than 70 per cent (Akgün et al 2010;Akgün and Senyücel Gündoğar 2012). The rich literature about the Turkish model in the Middle East, particularly after the uprisings (see Göksel 2012; Dede 2011) and the statements from prominent political figures who played important roles in their countries during and after the uprisings (Dünya 2012;Göksel 2014;Hürriyet Daily News 2011) illustrate the rising trend of the Turkish model in the Arab world.…”

This article aims to analyse the factors leading to varying trends in Turkey’s activeness as a mediator in the Middle East during the post-Cold War period. It seeks to investigate which variables – from various levels of analysis – have influenced Turkey’s activeness in mediation initiatives in the Middle East during this period. Moreover, it also aims to explore the relationships between these variables in the scope of which variables come into play in which conditions and, more importantly, which one of them assumes the primary role within this set of interactions. Utilising the theoretical framework of neoclassical realism and international mediation literature, this study specifies an independent variable (security concerns about the neighbouring part of the region), three intervening variables (eagerness of foreign policymakers for diplomatic expansion, domestic institutional constraint, and diplomatic and economic capacity) and finally, a dependent variable (activeness of Turkey as a mediator in the Middle East) to address these questions systematically. By analysing this process through these variables, this article reaches the following two main conclusions: (1) when security concerns increase, activeness decreases. (2) When security concerns decline, the levels of intervening variables determine the degree of activeness.

“…Tamimi, Gannuşi'nin demokrasiye giden yolculuğunu Şura algısına göre olduğunu belirtmiştir. Wolf (2013;2017), Göksel (2014), Cavatorta & Merone (2015), McCarthy (2015), Kaya (2018), Marzo (2019) ve diğer birçok araştırmacı aynı şekilde araştırma yapmıştır ve onun siyasi düşüncesinin çeşitli yönlerini ve özellikle Arap Baharı sonrası Ennahda'nın siyasetini tartışmışlardır. Ancak Okumuş'un (2019) tezi bu çalışma için daha alakalıdır.…”

“…Within this power-sharing process, Ghannouchi intended to forward a more liberal culture in Tunisia to maintain its conservative Muslim culture. In this context, Ennahda tried to compare its policy with the policy of the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) in Turkey (Wolf, 2013;Göksel, 2014;Bartal, 2020). Ghannouchi himself often stated the AK Party as their model for politics.…”

“…As cited by Göksel from Ghannouchi's interview, "Taking lessons from Turkey": "Turkey is a model country for us in terms of democracy. There are very good relations between Turkey and Tunisia, and I hope there will be a proper environment in the future where we could foster those relations" (Göksel, 2014).…”

“…He significantly put Ghannouhi's journey toward democracy, though the perception of Shura didn't get any special intention where he analyzed this issue as general to discuss Ghannouchi's political thought. Wolf (2013;2017), Göksel (2014), Cavatorta & Merone (2015, McCarthy (2015), Kaya (2018), Marzo (2019), and many other researchers forwarded in the same way where they discussed several aspects of his political thought and Ennahda's politics after the Arab Spring in particular. However, Okumuş's thesis (2019) comparatively more relative to this study where he intended to discuss the approach of Shura in both the Muslim Brotherhood (al-Ikhwan) and Ennahda's political thought.…”

This research analyzed the approach of Shura in the political thought of Rachid Ghannouchi, one of the prominent Muslim scholars in the contemporary world. Ghannouchi intended to argue Shura as an essential principle of the Islamic state after text (Nass), even more important because of the interpretation and implementation of text also depends on Shura. Following this aspect, Shura is the fundamental element for the formation of the state and its legislations. By the term Shura, he didn't mean the consultation with only the Ulama but the entire Ummah, where he considered Ummah is the legitimate authority of the Islamic state. After the Arab Spring, Ghannouchi's political thought and politics are crucial topics in academia. Within several transformations in politics as an aftermath of the Arab Spring, Ghannouchi now argues for a Muslim democratic state. This research considered the term Shura as the keyword of Rachid Ghannouchi's conception of state.
