In times of transformations, Turkey’s ambitious foreign policy has been particularly active both at the international and regional level. Over the years, the diversification of external relations has been a major feature of a multidimensional foreign policy in which the United States and the European Union no longer occupy the central place. How is Turkish foreign policy adapting to the evolving global system and changing regional order? What are the implications of Turkey’s foreign policy on its relations with the US and the EU? What role can Turkey play in the solution of crises in the MENA region?
