“…However, the Balkan Pact did not meet the security needs of Greece and Yugoslavia when the former was attacked by Italy in 1940 and the latter occupied by Germany in 1941 as both countries demanded help from Turkey within the parameters of the Balkan Pact. Turkey had a different understanding of the Pact as it argued that it was predominantly concerned with Bulgaria and not Italy (Barlas andVlasic 2016, 1011). Needless to say, it was well beyond Turkey's power to resist the German or Italian occupation of Greece and Yugoslavia and hence it was more concerned with protecting its own territorial integrity against those expansionist states.…”

State identity not only defines how elite decision-makers, as well as the informed public, identify their governmental affiliation but also informs the actions of the policymakers in the conduct of their foreign policy. There are numerous studies dealing with the role of ideas, identity and norms in international relations by scholars belonging to the constructivist school of thought in International Relations Theory. This study purports to offer such a constructivist analysis of Turkish foreign policy behaviour based on the gradual change of Kemalist state identity from a secular Western-oriented identity to that of a religious-based affiliation under the current Justice and Development Party (2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019)(2020). While realist variables are significant for explicating major events of Republican Turkey, such as its alignment with the United States after World War II, Turkey's policy decisions towards Cyprus and the Turkic republics of the former Soviet Union cannot be explained by purely materialist factors. For an adequate understanding of these policies, we need to resort to analytical eclecticism employing both realist and constructivist variables for a more sophisticated analysis of Turkey's foreign relations. When it comes to the JDP government, however, constructivist variables trump realist explanations as Turkish foreign policy, especially in the Middle East, has been clouded and shaped by an Islamically-framed Weltanschauung.

What is more, in addition to western European and Turkish engagement with areas of SEE, the Soviets too were folded into this geo-political mosaic of dynamic networks (Barlas, 2005;Barlas and Gu¨venc¸, 2009;Barlas and Vlasˇic´, 2016).…”

Heritage interests: Americanism, Europeanism and Neo-Ottomanism

The district of Novi Pazar in southwestern Serbia offers an ideal case study to explore heritage and diplomacy. By analyzing processes of Europeanization and perceptions of Neo-Ottomanism in heritage practices, the article demonstrates how past, present, and future plans for South East Europe are embroiled in development trajectories that encompass partners from not only Europe and Turkey but also the United States, Asia, and the Middle East. The World Heritage Center at UNESCO and its partner organization, International Council on Monuments and Sites, hold firm commitments to the Christian identities of Stari Ras and Sopoćani and legacies of medieval Raška as well as the legacies of Imperial Rome. Yet, they operate in a vacuum, neglecting to consider the hyper-connectivity that is transforming not only the physical landscapes of the region and the revitalization of Sandžak and Islamic identities but also the corporate and diplomatic spheres of transnational and multidimensional interests.
