This book provides an analysis of Turkish foreign policy towards Eurasia in the post-Soviet era. Focussing on the sub-regions of the South Caucasus, Central Asia and Black Sea, it problematizes various relevant issues for individualized analysis of bilateral and multilateral relations. As such, it covers energy politics, geopolitics, security, economic dimension, the role of discourse and ideology, and the impact of the external actors. This analytical account identifies the nature of the Turkish foreign policy in Eurasia focusing on the areas of cooperation, conflict, contestation and partnership, problematizing the lieu and meanings of regionalization in wider Eurasian region.Combining foreign policy analysis, area studies, geopolitics, and security studies, this volume not only problematizes Turkish foreign policy towards different sub-regions of the former Soviet territory, but also illustrates and discusses relevant issues of debates in the region with a central theme focusing on regionalization of Turkey’s foreign policy in Eurasia.
