“…34–35). 3 The following year, of Turkey’s exports to the GCC countries, Saudi Arabia was number one with US$431 million, followed by the UAE with US$211 million and Kuwait with US$107 million; and of Turkey’s imports from the GCC countries, largely due to oil purchases, Saudi Arabia was number one with just over US$1.7 billion, followed by Kuwait with US$107 million and the UAE with US$23 million (Hürsoy, 2013, p. 512).…”

This article will review Turkey’s political and economic relations with the United Arab Emirates from the establishment of ties upon the latter achieving independence from Britain to the present through the changing regional and international scene of the Cold War and post-Cold War periods. While Turkey did not pay much attention to the Gulf region initially, the situation changed following the establishment of the Gulf Cooperation Council in 1981 and Turgut Özal becoming prime minister two years later. Özal was a devout Muslim and sought to boost ties with Middle Eastern countries while reaping economic benefits, but his efforts were not as extensive as they have become under the Justice and Development Party (AKP), which came to power in 2002. The AKP regards Turkey as a leading force in promoting the interests especially of Sunni Muslims in the Middle East and the rest of the Islamic world. Despite constructive bilateral efforts at political and economic cooperation, the AKP’s connections with the Muslim Brotherhood have complicated Turkey’s relations with the UAE, as the latter has been concerned with its indigenous Islamist group al-Islah. Since the overthrow of Egyptian President Muhammad Morsi, a political rivalry has developed between the two over differing regional perspectives.

“…We can establish good relationship with peoples, bot with the regime of the Middle East" (Trofimov, 2014). Although there are some explicit political and security dimensions to Turkish foreign policy in the Gulf region, the overall rationale is economic (Hürsoy, 2013). Economic factors have been an important driving force behind the expansion of Turkey's relations with the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) countries and the Middle East, thanks to their diplomacy in that area.…”

Nowadays, globalization has become an essential tool for cooperation in the world and it is remarkable in many aspects, characterized by economic interdependence of states. Economical diplomacy became a precious element in foreign mutual relation. This paper discusses the evidence of modern economic diplomacy within an environment of economic interdependence and how it is seen in third world countries. The paper investigates also the relation between Africa continent and the rest of the world as well. The predominant actors in this modern economic diplomacy are developed countries. As we may all expect, countries will expect that their economic diplomacy and commercial diplomacy will serve their national interest in the economic and business sphere. With the increasing complexity of international economic relation, the traditional state-to-state diplomacy is no longer accurate and has been fragmented making more complex due to the growth of non-state actors in the international economic relations. What is the role of those non-state actors in international economic and diplomatic cooperation? The participation of these non-state actors in the modern economic diplomacy will be discussed in this paper as well.

Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi döneminde Türk Dış Politikasının dönüşümü, üzerinde çokça tartışılan ve derin analizlerin gerçekleştirildiği bir konudur. Uluslararası literatür dönüşümün parametrelerini pek çok farklı düzeyde açıklamaya çalışmıştır. Bu çalışma, dış politika çıktılarını, iç politikanın bir uzantısı olarak değerlendirmektedir. Bu doğrultuda, Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi'nin Kürt sorununu tanımlama biçiminin ve bu sorunu çözmede kullandığı araçların, Ortadoğu Politikasına nasıl yansıdığını anlama amacını gütmektedir. Önce, Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi ve ondan önceki karar alıcıların, Kürt sorununu iç politikada tahlil etme biçimleri ve bu sorunu çözmek için kullandıkları araçlar açıklanacaktır. Sonra, Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi'yle birlikte güvenlik odaklı bir dış politikadan liberal bir dış politikaya geçiş; hem ilişki kurulan aktörlerin değişimi hem de kurulan ilişkide meydana gelen değişiklikler irdelenerek incelenecektir. Çalışma; özellikle Kürt sorunuyla bağlantılı olan Irak, Suriye, İran ve İsrail'le yürütülen ilişkiler üzerine yoğunlaşacaktır.
