- W145289187 abstract "have described Turkey's efforts to chart its course in the international system in such terms as a policy of `near activism' or one that displayed signs of both `daring and caution.' However, this [does] not imply the abandonment of moderation and caution ... [in] Turkey's approach w international and regional affairs.... The end of the Cold War and the resulting superpower competition has had major repercussions on global and regional politics. In the 1990s, all states, large and small, sought to adjust to the international realities resulting from the tides of change that swept through Eurasia. Turkey is one of the countries that was most profoundly affected by the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, the transformation of the political and strategic landscape of Eastern Europe and Central Asia and the eruption of violent ethno-national conflicts in the Balkans and the Caucasus. These developments radically altered Turkey's foreign policy environment, creating opportunities to expand its role while also posing risks and challenges. Moreover, these changes have occurred during a period when the growing visibility of political Islam and the intensification of the Kurdish problem increased strains on the country's political and social order. The combined impact of these external and internal developments may have made the difficult task of adjustment to the post-Cold War international system even more challenging for Turkey than for most other countries. They also underscored the growing importance of the linkages between Turkish foreign policy and domestic politics. In the 1990s, Turkey modified some of its established Republican foreign policy principles and undertook initiatives to meet the challenges of the post-Cold War era.(1) Observers have described Turkey's efforts to chart its course in the international system in such terms as a policy of new or one that displayed signs of both and caution.(2) Indeed, compared to the Cold War years, Turkish foreign policy in the 1990s was significantly more activist and assertive in the Middle East, the Balkans, the Caucasus and Central Asia. However, this did not imply the abandonment of moderation and caution that has traditionally characterized Turkey's approach to international and regional affairs. On some issues, particularly those concerning northern Iraq and Syria, Turkey did adopt policies that were daring and carried considerable risk. On others, however, including its response to the ethno-national conflicts in the Balkans and the Caucasus, Turkish activism was noticeably cautious and moderate, despite considerable domestic pressure for greater military aid to beleaguered Muslim and Turkic communities. ASSERTIVE ACTIVISM: THE MIDDLE EAST Turkey's pursuit of active and assertive policies has been most pronounced in the Middle East. With the exception of a brief period in the mid-1950s, Turkey has assiduously pursued a cautious and low-profile policy toward its southern neighbors. This conservative approach arose from several worries: Turkey was concerned about the possibility of being drawn into regional conflicts; its main focus was on the perceived Soviet threat from the north; and the former Soviet Union's close ties with countries such as Syria limited the scope of Turkey's actions. Turkey's traditional Middle East policy underwent a significant change with its decision to participate in the 1990 Gulf War. Under President Ozal's leadership, Turkey joined the Allied coalition, took a strong stand against Saddam Hussein's regime, terminated the flow of Iraqi oil exports through the pipelines in Turkey and permitted the US Air Force to use NATO bases in Turkey for strikes into northern Iraq.(3) Turkey's participation in the Gulf War stemmed largely, though not exclusively, from a desire to reassert its role and importance in the post-Cold War era. Policymakers in Ankara were apprehensive that the demise of the Soviet threat and East-West rivalries would undermine their country's geo-strategic role in the Western alliance. …" @default.
