Year: 2023 Language: English Author: Serhat Süha Çubukçuoğlu Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan Edition: 1st ISBN: 978-3-031-37204-9 Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 315 Description: This book explores the significance of Turkey’s Blue Homeland (Mavi Vatan) naval concept through the lens of neoclassical realism by investi-gating the impact of geopolitics and domestic political factors on foreign policy outcomes. It uncovers motivations behind the policy change between 2004 and 2023 with a particular focus on the last seven years, the period when Turkey’s naval assertiveness reached its peak following the failed coup attempt in 2016. The argument highlights that Blue Home-land is an extension of Turkey’s national self-conception embodied in the Vatan concept; it is the manifestation of a traditional land power claiming its place as an emergent maritime power. The Justice and Development Party (AKP) government led by President Recep Tayyip Erdo˘gan has rein-forced an activist maritime policy since 2016 due to pressures of regional insecurity, domestic coalition logrolling, and nationalist sentiment. Additional info: About the Author: Serhat Süha Çubukçuoğlu is a geopolitical strategist working at the intersection of policymaking, research, and media. He is currently a Senior Fellow in Strategic Studies at TRENDS Research and Advisory in Abu Dhabi, UAE, as well as an advisory board member at Koç University’s Maritime Forum in Istanbul, Turkey.
