Ankara moment: the politics of Turkey's regional power in the Middle East, 2007-11 / Bank, Andre; Karadag, Roy   Journal Article
Bank, Andre Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract Around 2007 Turkey became a regional power in the Middle East, a status it has maintained at least until the outset of the Arab Revolt in 2011. To understand why Turkey only became a regional power under the Muslim akp government and why this happened at the specific point in time that it did, this article highlights the self-reinforcing dynamics between Turkey's domestic political-economic transformation in the first decade of this century and the advantageous regional developments in the Middle East at the same time. It holds that this specific linkage-the 'Ankara Moment'-and its regional resonance in the neighbouring Middle East carries more transformative potential than the 'Washington Consensus' or the 'Beijing Consensus' so prominently discussed in current global South politics.

New Arab cold war: rediscovering the Arab dimension of Middle East regional politics / Valbjorn, Morten; Bank, Andre   Journal Article
Valbjorn, Morten Journal Article

Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract This article provides a conceptual lens for and a thick interpretation of the emergent regional constellation in the Middle East in the first decade of the 21st century. It starts out by challenging two prevalent claims about regional politics in the context of the 2006 Lebanon and 2008-09 Gaza Wars: Firstly, that regional politics is marked by a fundamental break from the 'old Middle East' and secondly, that it has become 'post-Arab' in the sense that Arab politics has ceased being distinctly Arab. Against this background, the article develops the understanding of a New Arab Cold War which accentuates the still important, but widely neglected Arab dimension in regional politics. By rediscovering the Arab Cold War of the 1950-60s and by drawing attention to the transformation of Arab nationalism and the importance of new trans-Arab media, the New Arab Cold War perspective aims at supplementing rather that supplanting the prominent moderate-radical, sectarian and Realist-Westphalian narratives. By highlighting dimensions of both continuity and change it does moreover provide some critical nuances to the frequent claims about the 'newness' of the 'New Middle East'. In addition to this more Middle East-specific contribution, the article carries lessons for a number of more general debates in International Relations theory concerning the importance of (Arab-Islamist) non-state actors and competing identities in regional politics as well as the interplay between different forms of sovereignty.
