Murat Yeşiltaş ile, Perceptions dergisinin önümüzdeki sayısında yayınlanacak olan "Türk Dış Politikasında Yumuşak Dengeleme: 2003 Irak Krizi Örneği" adlı makalesini tartışacağız.

 

This paper argues that soft balancing theory provides the best framework to understand Turkey’s foreign policy towards the US in terms of its unilateral policy towards the Iraqi issue in the post 9/11 era. To put the matter bluntly, Turkish foreign policy regarding the Iraqi crisis can be examined through the lenses of the soft balancing; in order to prevent the war and minimize its negative effect on the region as well as its own interest. I argue that Turkey’s soft balancing policy is a strategic effort in overall structural terms to increase influence vis-a-vis the US via non-military means. In this respect, this article is divided into two sections. The first section will give an overall explanation about the theory of soft balancing. Second section will examine Turkish foreign policy regarding the Iraqi crisis as soft balancing against the US before the 2003 Iraq war. This being said the second section will treat Turkish foreign policy in three soft balancing strategies which compose of diplomatic soft balancing in the regional level, institutional soft balancing in the international level, and territorial denial as an instrument of soft balancing in the national level.
