“…The quantitative and the qualitative results of this study overall prove both the general argument of the correlation between foreign policy orientation and the UNGA voting behavior and, in particular, the arguments (Öniş and Kutlay, ; Parlar Dal, , , ) on Turkey's in‐between foreign policy orientation in the changing international order. Both Turkey's quantitative scores revealing its high cohesion with the democratic rising powers and the qualitative results implying an intermittent voting trend between the rising powers and the western group of P5 demonstrate how these arguments on Turkey's in‐between trajectory in the international order are reflected in its UNGA voting.…”

This paper attempts to analyze the voting behavior of Turkey in the UN General Assembly between 2002 and 2014 in comparison with those of the Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) countries by using selected reference groups of India, Brazil, South Africa (IBSA), EU, permanent members of the UN Security Council (P5) and the Western group of P5 (USA, UK, France) with the help of a two layered methodology. In doing so, this paper, with a two‐layered quantitative and qualitative methodological model, empirically tests Turkey's voting alignments and cohesion scores in the UN General Assembly to provide a comparative perspective on the degree of foreign policy cohesion among Turkey and its BRICS peers by comparing the group and pair‐wise ‘cohesion’ results. Finally, this paper will qualitatively analyze and discuss Turkey's exceptional voting behaviors and alignments with both the Western group of P5 and the BRICS to understand the nature of the international issues leading to convergences or divisions between Turkey and the BRICS and to demonstrate Turkey's in‐between and dual foreign policy role in international affairs.

“…Being among the NATO's ten most powerful militaries and the OECD's 15 biggest economies, Turkey is considered an emerging rising power (Öniş & Kutlay, 2017). Similar to other rising powers, Turkey supports regional indigenous organisations (Cooper & Parlar Dal, 2016).…”

Focusing on Turkey's 68-year-old formal alliance with the US, this study asks why the alliance persists in spite of diverging perceptions of threat and worldviews. The first section of the article explains that the alliance has been transformed into a more than a threat-centric and transactional partnership over time. The second section focuses on the key issues of the US-Turkey alliance management between January 2009 and 2020 and points to a significant increase in the alliance security dilemma. The third section explores the AKP leadership's divergent worldviews and rising contestations against the US. Overall, the study argues that both transactional and 'order-centric' arguments can be useful to explain the resilience of the US-Turkey alliance in the post-Cold War era.

“…According to Acemoğlu and Ücer (), these institutional reforms stimulated the performance of the Turkish economy till the global economic crisis. The period 2002–07 can be seen as the golden years of the Turkish economy and democracy (Acemoğlu & Ücer ; Öniş & Kutlay ). When it became clear that Turkey could not join the EU (the negotiations stopped), it was disappointed, and in the following years it slowly moved from a fragile democracy to an illiberal democracy, particularly after the military coup that failed, leading to diplomatic tensions between Turkey and the EU.…”

Over the last ten years Turkey has gone through two different types of crises, namely the global economic crisis of 2008-2009 and the (geo)political crisis after 2015. This paper analyses the resilience of the economy of the tourism city of Antalya to both crises by focusing on the development of GDP of its inbound tourism countries and the births and deaths of both tourism and non-tourism firms. The impact of the global economic crisis was moderate. The (geo)political crisis of 2016, by contrast, had a strong impact on Antalya's economy. The city's tourism arrivals strongly decreased, new firm formation stagnated, although the death rate of firms did not increase, and the sectoral diversification of new firms declined. Antalya conforms more to the engineering type of resilience to both crises than to the adaptive one which requires ability/ willingness to shift into new sectors.
