Zusammenfassung: | The tension between “international order” and justice has long been a focus of critical attention of many scholars. Today, with the rise of the humanitarian crises, the debate is once again visible, and Turkish foreign policy is one of the most important areas of observation of this tension. Indeed, the U.S.‐led invasion of Iraq in 2003 paved the way for Turkey to actively engage in regional affairs. Meanwhile, the need to bring human justice into world politics makes Turkish foreign policy decision makers operate on a much more humanitarian basis. Nevertheless, active humanitarian engagement poses an important challenge to traditional Turkish foreign policy as it is mainly based on the notion of “non‐interference,” as well as on the elementary components of international order, by raising suspicions on the intentions of the Turkish authorities. This article aims to explore the challenges Turkey has been facing since the U.S.‐led invasion of Iraq, and diagnose Turkish foreign policy vis‐à‐vis Iraq in the shadow of the Syrian civil war from Hedley Bull's framework of “order” and “justice.” It argues that Turkey's recent fluctuations in the Middle East could be linked to Turkey's failure to reconcile the requirements of “order” with those of “justice” and the Turkish governing party's (AKP) attempts to use justice as an important instrument to consolidate its power both in Turkey and in the Middle East.
Examinando el impacto del acercamiento de Turquía en cara a Siria dentro de la política turca relacionada con Irak Resumen
La tensión entre el “orden internacional” y la justicia ha atraído hace mucho la atención crítica de muchos académicos. Hoy, con el incremento de la crisis humanitaria, el debate es de nuevo visible, y la política exterior turca es una de las áreas más importantes de observación en esta tensión. Ciertamente, la invasión en Irak liderada por EE.UU. en 2003 llevó a Turquía a involucrarse activamente en temas regionales. Mientras tanto, la necesidad de traer justicia humana a la política mundial hace que los encargados de la política exterior en Turquía trabajen de una forma mucho más humanitaria. Sin embargo, el compromiso humanitario activo representa un desafío importante en la política exterior tradicional turca y se basa en la noción de la “no interferencia” así como en los componentes elementales del orden internacional, al levantar sospechas acerca de las intenciones de las autoridades turcas. Este artículo busca explorar los retos qu |
