Abstract
The dissolution of the Ottoman Empire set the stage for Türkiye’s evolving foreign policy in the Middle East, a region deeply intertwined with its historical legacy. From the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923 to the rise of the AK Party in the early 2000s, Türkiye’s approach has been marked by pragmatism, adaptability, and a keen understanding of regional dynamics. The nation's foreign policy has oscillated between neutrality, revisionism, proactivity, reactivity, assertiveness, autonomy, and diplomacy, reflecting both its historical ties and strategic imperatives. As Türkiye continues to navigate the complexities of the Middle East, its foreign policy remains a testament to its enduring resilience and strategic acumen. By tracing its roots and evolution, the article sheds light on the myriad factors that have shaped its course, offering insights into the evolving nature of Türkiye’s multifaceted and adaptive foreign policy and role in the Middle East over the last 100 years (1923-2023).
奥斯曼帝国的解体为土耳其在中东不断演变的外交政策奠定了基础,该地区与其历史遗产深深交织在一起。从1923年的《洛桑条约》(Treaty of Lausanne)到21世纪初正义与发展党(AK Party)的崛起, rkiye的做法以实用主义、适应性和对地区动态的敏锐理解为特征。中国的外交政策在中立、修正主义、主动、被动、自信、自主和外交之间摇摆不定,既反映了历史联系,也反映了战略需要。随着土耳其继续应对中东的复杂局势,其外交政策仍然证明了其持久的弹性和战略敏锐性。通过追溯其根源和演变,本文揭示了塑造其进程的无数因素,并提供了对过去100年(1923-2023)中俄罗斯多方面和适应性外交政策的演变性质和在中东的作用的见解。
