Аннотация:The system of international relations is changing by moving to a post-Western world order. This has created a new environment for many countries in terms of their foreign policy, especially for the ones across the Eurasian continent. Throughout the second half of the 20th century, Turkey was an integral part of the Western institutional framework. However, it made a conceptual U-turn in the mid-2010s when Ankara de facto rejected the paradigm which consisted of relying on the West as the reference point in its efforts to promote social and economic transformation and modernise its economy. Nevertheless, this did not affect Turkey’s institutional ties with the West, including its membership in NATO and the Turkey-EU Customs Union. This placed the country in a unique position: while operating within the Western framework from an institutional standpoint it is increasingly seeking to have a freer hand in its foreign policy choices.
