Jan Niemiec

Abstract


The purpose of this paper is to analyze and to evaluate Turkish foreign policy in view of the challenges of contemporary regional integration. The first part presents the factors determining the current position of Turkey in the region, with particular regard to the the policy pursued by the Justice and Development Party, which has been in power since 2002. Next part focuses on the actions of the Turkish authorities towards the Middle East and the South Caucasus – two key regions, which are an alternative to the gradually deteriorating relations between the Republic of Turkey and the European Union. The final part of the paper is an attempt to identify trends that will influence Ankara's future integration policy in relation to its closest neighbors.
