Descriptif

This course aims to provide students with an analytical framework for understanding Turkey’s foreign policy in its geographical environment from 2002 to the present. The regions covered are the Balkans, the Middle East, the Caucasus, the Mediterranean basin and the Black Sea. The year 2002 as a starting point coincides with the coming to power of the AKP (Development and Justice Party) co-founded by Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The course will be divided into two chronological phases: from 2002 to 2011 when Turkey bases its power strategy primarily on soft power, and from 2011 to the present day when the outbreak of the Syrian civil war sees the militarisation of Turkish foreign policy. The course will be transversal and will address many themes related to history, geography, economics, sociology and international law.

Pré-requis

Knowledge of contemporary history and international relations is recommended.
