İbrahim Anlaşmaları Sonrası Arap Yarımadasının Jeopolitik Analizi ve Türk Büyük Stratejisinin İmkânları/Kısıtları
The Geopolitical Analysis of Arabian Peninsula and the Opportunities/Limits of Turkish Grand Strategy in the Aftermath of Abraham Accords

Summary/Abstract: In recent years, Arabian peninsula states have started to play a bigger role in regional and global politics than ever before. Particularly Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain were involving the regional conflicts to realize their national interests, which created a radical geopolitical rivalry between them and Turkey. Today, maybe the most important problem in Turkish foreign and security policy is the Arabian opposition in the Middle East and East Mediterranean. Improving an optimum response to this problem basically needs a reevaluation of the Arabian peninsula states in a geopolitical manner. With reference to the rescaled theories of Mackinder, Spykman, and Mahan, this study places the Arabian peninsula states in the concepts of the classical geopolitics. By doing so, this study produces a few policy recommendations to Turkish side to deal with the recently emerged geopolitical challenges. Lastly, with a special reference to grand strategy debates in Turkey, the opportunities and limits of possible Turkish grand strategy will be explored.
