    Turkish Foreign Policy, its Domestic Determinants and the Role of the European Union
    in South European Society & Politics , Volume 16, Issue 2, Special Issue: Turkey and the European Union: Accession and Reform, June ,  2011 ,  279-291
    This paper investigates whether Turkish foreign policy has changed in recent years, specifically in line with the EU accession process, and tries to uncover the main dynamics behind these changes. The main proposition in the paper is that domestic changes in Turkey have led to a reshuffling of foreign policy objectives with a renewed emphasis on improving relations with the country's neighbours. The paper investigates whether such a policy change is complementary to the Turkish goal of inclusion in the EU, and further proposes that the changes in Turkish foreign policy since 2002 involve an increased activism partly in line with the EU accession process and as a result of the changes in domestic politics.
