The main objective of this book is to understand the extent and the
motives behind the shift in Turkey's foreign policy towards the
Kurdistan Regional Government (hereafter the KRG) from an
alternative globalist perspective, and to do so it examines a
ten-year period of Turkey's foreign policy on the KRG, from 2003 to
2013. Despite the shadows casting by its history, Turkey has
developed relations with the Kurdish government to the level of a
strategic partnership within the last decade, following the 2003
invasion of Iraq. The book identifies and analyses the factors that
determine Turkey's foreign policy towards the KRG by providing a
historical account of Turkey's approach towards a Kurdish polity,
illuminating the extent of the shift in Turkey's foreign policy by
looking at some dislocatory moves, and identifying and analyzing
regional and global motives behind the Turkey-KRG rapprochement
that led Turkey to abandon its traditional policy temporally
towards the Kurdish Region of Iraq within the period this work is
focused on. The book brings the global dimension to the discussion
and suggests that developments at the global level play a
significant role in shaping the regional and internal contexts in
which the partnership between Turkey and the KRG was established.
And in conclusion it argues that Turkish foreign policy towards the
KRG shifted between 2007 and 2013 due to the intersection of
regional and global fault lines and competition between global
power blocks, the United States, Russia and China over energy
resources and strategic trade and transit energy routes.
This book focuses on securitization and authoritarianism in Turkey
with research on the country’s Islamist populist ruling party’s
(AKP) oppression of different socio-political, ethnic and religious
groups. In doing so, it analyzes how the AKP has securitized to
oppress different socio-political groups and identities, according
to the time and need for the party's political survival. Research
in the book sheds light on the use of traumas, conspiracy theories,
and fear as tools in the securitization and repression processes.
