A Muslim Realist

Türkiye enters an era of restructuring international relations as a potent geostrategic actor dubbed “the” hub of solutions. More than a middle power, Türkiye's changing status brings forth a new conceptualization in global politics.

This book focuses on the changing role of Türkiye in today's world. Once considered to be merely a middle power, increasing engagement by Türkiye in current international affairs speaks to the reality of Türkiye’s new position. Türkiye has moved away from reacting to a new place in the 21st century as an actor. Fatima Gülhan Abushanab argues that today's Türkiye, both part of the West and the East, is a deal broker, game changer, mediator, facilitator and much more. This book sheds light to the evidence depicting Türkiye's new status by providing examples from recent history.
