| Summary/Abstract |
Turkey's foreign policy activism on a range of regional and global issues
has sparked enormous interest in academic and policy circles in recent
years. Turkey occupied a central place in discussions on the Iranian nuclear
program when it formulated, with Brazil, a plan to transfer part of Iran's
nuclear stockpile to Turkey in apparent opposition to the US policy of
spearheading a new round of sanctions in the summer of 2010. Turkey's
attempts to interject itself as a mediator into regional crises-be it between
Israel and the Arabs; Afghanistan and Pakistan; Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia,
and Croatia; various Iraqi groups; various Lebanese groups; or Russia and
Georgia-has been another area of activism for Turkish diplomacy. At the
same time, Turkey has initiated dialogue with such neighbours as Armenia,
Greece, and Iraq to resolve decades-old disputes and normalize bilateral
relations. Turkey's efforts to capitalize on its geographic location to turn the
country into a major hub for the transportation and marketing of Eurasian
and Middle Eastern energy resources to global markets has provided yet
another dimension of Turkey's growing visibility in international affairs.

| Summary/Abstract |
Turkey's foreign policy activism in recent decades, characterized by an ambitious regional agenda and visibility in global affairs, has generated a lively debate. This paper attempts to position Turkey in modern-day international relations, in order to develop an analytical framework capable of theorizing its regional and global-level activism coherently. It thus proposes to conceptualize Turkey as a regional power and argues that such actors' behavior can be analyzed with reference to three interrelated variables: the nature of regional order, their behavioral attitudes, and the interactions at the regional-global nexus.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines the prospects of the Turkish government's rhetoric of following zero-problems with neighbors and pursuing 'positive-sum' strategies to foster regional cooperation. Through a detailed examination of the Turkish-Azerbaijani energy cooperation in the context of the Nabucco natural gas pipeline, the article concludes that this policy is unsustainable and Turkey will come under pressure to set a more realistic foreign policy agenda that prioritizes among the country's strategic relationships. Moreover, although many believe that Turkey's overtures to Armenia lie at the heart of the troubles in Turkish-Azerbaijani energy talks, this article suggests that the real causes are the diverging interests between the two countries due to the underlying incompatibilities of their energy policies, breeding a 'negative-sum' game.
