  2. Historical Foundations I: Ottoman Legacy & Early Republic • Theme: Ottoman diplomacy, Lausanne, and the early Republic’s “foreign policy of survival.” • Guiding Questions: How did the Ottoman legacy shape the Republic? How did Lausanne define Türkiye’s external orientation? • Preparation: Reflect on the role of nationalism, secularism, and minorities.
  3. Historical Foundations II: Cold War & Alignment with the West • Theme: NATO membership, the U.S. alliance, Cyprus crises. • Guiding Questions: Was Türkiye a loyal or reluctant ally? How did Cyprus reshape its Western orientation? • Preparation: Consider alliance theory and autonomy vs dependence.
  4. Theoretical Approaches to Turkish Foreign Policy • Theme: Realism, liberalism, constructivism, critical approaches, and role theory. • Guiding Questions: Which theory best explains Turkish Foreign Policy? How does identity interact with theory? • Preparation: Apply different theories to Türkiye’s behaviour toward neighbours.
  5. Türkiye–U.S. Relations & NATO • Theme: Strategic bargains, crises, and endurance of the alliance. • Guiding Questions: Why has NATO remained central despite recurrent crises? How do betrayal narratives shape Turkish identity? • Preparation: Think about entrapment vs abandonment in alliance politics.
