Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 17Nato and Turkey in the Post-Cold War World: Between Abandonment and Entrapment(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012) Güvenç, Serhat; Güvenç, Serhat; Özel, Soli; Özel, SoliFor the last two decades two fears have largely shaped Turkey's view of NATO. These are fears of entrapment and abandonment. Both are symptoms of a type of security dilemma that is peculiar to military alliances and coalitions. Both fears had their origins in the Cold War in the context of Turkey's 60-year-old NATO membership. They also led to the pursuit of autonomy in Turkish foreign policy both as a response strategy and as a strategic choice in its own right. While the former version featured a heavy dose of reliance on military means or hard power the latter version de-emphasized the military option in foreign policy and relied instead on soft power. A multitude of dynamics accounts for variations in the Turkish approach to NATO for the last two decades: Geography and regional considerations the transatlantic dynamics NATO's restructuring and transformation and Turkey's domestic dynamics. It may be suggested that NATO membership now looms large in the strategic calculations of the new Turkish elite in the aftermath of the Arab Awakening. This development might be the harbinger of the end of an era marked by fears and the pursuit of autonomy in Turkey's approach to NATO.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Indispensable Even When Unreliable: an Anatomy of Turkish-American Relations(Canadian Institute of International Affairs, 2012) Özel, Soli; Özel, Soli[Abstract Not Available]Article Citation - Scopus: 11Turkey's Dilemmas(2011) Özel, Soli; Özel, Soli; Özcan, GencerTurkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), which prides itself on serving as a regional model of democratic governance, often pays lip service to human rights and democratic principles in its foreign policy. Yet when dealing with politically less than attractive regional partners, the AKP will frequently maintain public silence rather than risk harm to Turkish interests, particularly economic ones. Will the more robust human-rights policy that Turkey has begun to apply in the Middle East be extended to Ankara’s dealings with other parts of the world? This remains unclear, yet it seems obvious that the principles which the present AKP government has laid down as markers for future foreign-policy activities will tend to make it increasingly costly for Turkey to turn a blind eye to human-rights abuses abroad.Article Abd’nin Levant Hengamesinde Süreklenen Politikaları(2018) Görmüş, Evrim; Özel, Soli; Özel, SoliLevant bölgesi, İkinci Dünya Savaşı’ndan bu yana ABD dış politikasının öncelikli çıkar alanlarından birini oluşturmaktadır. Bu makalenin amacı, ABD’nin, bilhassa da son iki Amerikan yönetiminin, Levant’a yönelik politikalarını açıklığa kavuşturmayı, bölgede ve Amerikan siyasetindeki değişimlerin Washington’un Levant’a yönelik politikasının nasıl yanlı, zaman zaman beceriksiz ve daha da önemlisi tutarsız görünmesine neden olduğunu anlamayı hedeflemektedir. Makale, bir yönetimden diğerine İsrail’in egemenliğinin korunması, dostane rejimlerin desteklenmesi, terörizmle mücadele ve İran’ın kontrol altına alınması gibi konularda ve genel itibariyle bölgeye yönelik yaklaşımdaki değişiklikleri incelemektedir. Suriye’ye yönelik politikadaki tereddütler ve değişimler daha detaylı ele alınmıştır. Nitekim bu konular Amerika’nın Levant’a yönelik politikasının henüz son halini almadığının, daha da ötesinde gelişmeler karşısında ABD’nin nasıl yön değiştirdiğini ve Esad’ı yerinden etme hedefinden uzaklaşarak İran’ı kontrol altına alma ve eğer mümkünse boyun eğdirmeye odaklandığına işaret etmektedir.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Us Policies Adrift in a Levant in Turmoil(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2018) Görmüş, Evrim; Özel, Soli; Özel, SoliThe Levant has constituted one of the core areas of interest for US foreign policy since the Second World War. The aim of this article is to shed light on the US policies towards the Levant mostly during the last two American administrations to understand how the vicissitudes of the region and of American politics made Washington's policy towards the Levant look biased at times incompetent and most importantly inconsistent. This article examines the changes in approach to the region as a whole from one administration to the next on issues such as the protection of Israel's sovereignty supporting friendly regimes fighting terrorism and containing Iran. The hesitations and shifts in policy towards Syria are given a longer treatment as they speak both to the yet not finalized American policy towards the Levant but also to show how the US has shifted track and moved away from unseating President Assad to focus more on containing and if possible rolling over Iran.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 27A Moment of Elation: the Gezi Protests/Resistance and the Fading of the Akp Project(Palgrave Macmillan, 2014) Özel, Soli; Özel, SoliSoli Özel situates Gezi in a broader, more global, Y context and offers insights into the societal dynamics that might have led to the June protests. Pointing to the commonalities between social movements in countries as dissimilar as Thailand, Brazil, Ukraine and Greece (or indeed the Arab world), Özel stresses the role of the impoverished middle classes, who try to turn these protests into an opportunity to produce participatory and democratic political spaces. What was put into practice with these demonstrations in Turkey is a search for a new definition of citizenship, Özel argues, as well as "an attempt to enlarge the liberal-democratic space in Turkish politics".Article Citation - WoS: 1Indispensable Even When Unreliable an Anatomy of Turkish-american Relations(Canadian inst int Affairs, 2011) Ozel, Soli; Özel, Soli[No Abstract Available]Article Citation - Scopus: 0Kehrtwende mit Fragezeichen: Erst Möchtegern-Spielmacher, dann Nebendarsteller, jetzt Partner der USA?(Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Auswartige Politik e.V., 2015) Özel, Soli[No abstract available]
