“…Fearing Italian, Nazi, and Soviet invasion, Turkey avoided getting entangled in the alliances of the inter-war period and chose to remain neutral (Gulmez, 2017). It cultivated closer relations with both the Allied and the Axis powers during the Second World War (Barlas & Gulmez, 2018). Its survival strategy relied on 'playing one Western power off against another' (Oran, 2011).…”

Focusing on Turkey's 68-year-old formal alliance with the US, this study asks why the alliance persists in spite of diverging perceptions of threat and worldviews. The first section of the article explains that the alliance has been transformed into a more than a threat-centric and transactional partnership over time. The second section focuses on the key issues of the US-Turkey alliance management between January 2009 and 2020 and points to a significant increase in the alliance security dilemma. The third section explores the AKP leadership's divergent worldviews and rising contestations against the US. Overall, the study argues that both transactional and 'order-centric' arguments can be useful to explain the resilience of the US-Turkey alliance in the post-Cold War era.

“…"Bu çalışmanın amacı şu soruya yanıt aramaktır" gibi bir ifadeyle başlar. Örneğin, Barlas ve Gülmez (2018) makalelerine başlarken, ortak bir düşman algısı olmamasına rağmen 1930'lu yıllarda Britanya ve Türkiye'nin neden ortaklık kurabildiğini sorar.…”

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Sosyal Bilimlerde akademik makalenin nasıl yazılması gerektiğine dair yeni araştırmacılara ipuçları vermektir. Özellikle, Sosyal Bilimler alanında Türkçe literatürde makale yazımı üzerine büyük bir açık bulunmaktadır. Dolayısıyla çalışma, Türkçe literatürde halihazırdaki bu önemli açığın kapatılmasına katkı sağlamaktadır. Bu bağlamda, çalışma öncelikle bir araştırma makalesinde olmazsa olmaz üç unsur; 1-araştırma sorusu, 2-literatür taraması ve 3-akademik katkı üzerine detaylı bir tartışma yürütecek ve Türk akademisindeki güncel çalışmalardan örneklerle tartışmayı zenginleştirecektir. Sonraki bölümde çalışma, makaledeki şekilsel konuları ele alacaktır. Makalenin başlığı, makale özeti ve anahtar kelimeler gibi teknik konular hakkında izlenmesi gereken stratejilere odaklanacaktır. Ayrıca çalışma, makalenin yapısı konusunda son dönemde yayınlanan çalışmalardan örneklerle okuyucuya önemli ipuçları verecektir. Sonuç bölümünde, çalışma makale yazımı konusunda yeni araştırmacılara dört temel reçete sunacaktır.

“…Second, it is clear from the data that Turkish political elite perceptions of the UK rest on historical experiences, going back centuries. Turkey and the UK have a long record of bilateral relations with ups and downs (G€ oktepe 2012; Barlas and G€ ulmez 2018;MacArthur-Seal 2018;Karaca 2020;Hale 2020). Although the 2010s can be considered as a period of close partnership in diplomacy, defence, trade and investment (Altın€ ors 2020), the shadow of historical animosities are hard to erase.…”

Reconsidering Britain’s soft power: lessons from the perceptions of the Turkish political elite

Enhancing Britain's soft power has been a policy objective of the Conservative-led governments in the past few years. Policy relevant research on the matter mostly measures the positive perceptions of other countries' publics toward the UK. This article proposes to dig deeper into the attitudes of foreign decision-makers in an unobtrusive manner to supplement these previous studies. As an illuminating case study, it investigates the views of the Turkish politicians by using data from the parliamentary proceedings of 2011-2018. This analysis reveals that the strongest soft power asset of the UK in Turkey is its exemplary political values, government and democracy. The biggest challenge is historical experiences of animosity that leads to inherent mistrust. Evidence also demonstrates that the UK is seen more positively in conjunction with other countries and more negatively on its own. This finding stresses the significance of multilateral cooperation to augment UK's soft power.
