| description | Why did Turkey shift its Middle East policy from soft power oriented approach to the security oriented one in the early 2010s?

The primary objective of this study is to ascertain the reasons behind this widely debated question in Turkish foreign policy literature. Unlike existing explanations, the main argument of the study is that the U.S. grand strategy towards Middle East appears as the most important causal factor shaping the nature of Turkey’s engagement in its region.
