Multiple neo-Ottomanisms in the construction of Turkey’s (trans)national heritage: TIKA and a dialectic between foreign and domestic policy / Aykaç, Pınar   Journal Article
Aykaç, Pınar Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract After coming to power in 2002, the Justice and Development Party evoked the ‘glory’ of the Ottoman past, seeking to expand Turkey’s cultural sphere of influence to the former territories of the Ottoman Empire – a phenomenon commonly referred to as neo-Ottomanism. While neo-Ottomanism is generally discussed as a component of foreign policy, the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency’s (TIKA) intervention in the heritage dynamics of foreign countries was intimately linked with domestic policies. This paper discusses how neo-Ottomanist policies selectively created transnational heritage sites, and how these sites have dialectically become instruments of domestic politics.

Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract The Turkish International Cooperation and Development Agency (TIKA) was established in 1992 just after the disintegration of the Soviet Union in order to help the socio-economic development of the newly independent Turkic states. Since its constitution, it has witnessed an uneven course of development due to several domestic and international factors. Political and economic instability in Turkey during the 1990s directly influenced the effectiveness of TIKA. Decreasing the attractiveness of the "Turkish model" and Russia's resurrection in the former Soviet territories helped weaken both Turkey's hands in the region and the prospect of TIKA's success. However, in the 2000s, it evolved to become a functional modern development aid agency in line with favorable changes in Turkey's domestic and international settings. TIKA has now restructured and transformed itself by enlarging its mission as well as its geographical scope. This article deals with how and under what conditions TIKA has experienced such a transformation in a turbulent domestic and international atmosphere.
