The AK Party decade in Turkish foreign policy has been an age of change and transformation. Since its election in November 2002, the AK Party has not only brought major changes to Turkish domestic politics, such as the reform of civil-military relations and democratization in the political realm, but it has also revised Turkey’s foreign policy and national security doctrine. These changes have been critical to Turkey’s rise as a regional power in the Middle East and have increased its visibility and impact in the international system. This analysis focuses on the transformation of Turkish foreign policy with respect to three major areas: changes in regional politics, increasing global activism, and the impact of civilianization and public opinion.
