Master Thesis The assessment of Turkey as a soft power :2009-2014(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2016) Oral, Gul; Triantaphyllou, DimitriosSoft power has been an influential concept in the field of international relations since it was developed by Joseph Jr. Nye in the 1990s. Even though the term was coined in order to assess American power in terms of its soft power resources such as values culture and policies it has been extensively used by politicians and scholars in different countries. The concept has also come into prominence in Turkey during the JDP period by highlighting a new foreign policy approach presented by Ahmet Davutoglu based on his Strategic Depth doctrine. Turkey has been evaluated as a rising soft power which can play an active role in the regional and global arena due to its various soft power resources such as its culture values foreign policy and economic success. The thesis aims at analyzing Turkey’s soft power between 2009-2014 when Davutoglu served as the Minister of Foreign Affairs by creating an analytical framework based on its soft power resources and practices. The main research question arises as: “whether Turkey has achieved to enhance its soft power during the 2009-2014 period as asserted?” The foremost argument of this study could be expressed as follows: though Turkey has had a substantial amount of soft power owing to its diverse resources its soft power seems to be diminishing due to its lack of success in promoting universal values in its domestic and foreign policy.Book Review Citation Count: 0The European Union's Immigration Policy: Managing Migration in Turkey and Morocco(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2018) Oral, GulMigration has been an important reason for externalization of the EU’s policies towards non- member third countries.
