Political economy of Turkey's pivot to Asia

Abstract

This article examines T & uuml,rkiye's increasingly complex relations with Asia from a political economy perspective capitalizing on the notions of semi-periphery and sub-imperialism in an era marked by the crisis of globalization and a relative decline of US economic and technological power. It contends that the complexity of T & uuml,rkiye-Asia relations and associated changes in Turkish foreign policy should be examined within the shifting global and domestic political-economic conditions and the changing relations between countries.
