  • Ten Global Brands by 2023: a Sweet Fantasy?
    TEN GLOBAL BRANDS BY 2023: A SWEET FANTASY? Over the past decade, ambitious bureaucrats in Ankara have pledged bold goals. Many observers saw these as mere fantasy. In 2012, the mixing of economic and geostrategic aspirations in the same pot was introduced to the Turkish public as the “2023 vision”. This article analyzes one of the ambitious 2023 targets: having 10 Turkish-owned global brands. On its path to create global brands Turkey will have to address the challenges which today’s developed countries have faced in the past. Ergin Hava* Summer 2013 * Ergin Hava is the Business Editor of the Istanbul-based English language daily Today’s Zaman. 139 VOLUME 12 NUMBER 2 ERGİN HAVA ver the past decade of single-party rule, the Turkish economy has branched out into new markets and cultivated sustainable trade rela- tions, becoming more integrated within the global economy than ever O before. This was mainly the result of growing self-confidence bol- stered by political and financial stability at home. During this period, ambitious bureaucrats in Ankara pledged bold goals, which many observers saw as mere fantasy. These goals, in a sense, were the result of the government’s motivation to force the limits of vision and imagination as far as pos- sible, even though some of them seemed very hard to achieve at first. The mixing of economic and geostrategic aspirations in the same pot was introduced in 2012 to the Turkish public as the “2023 vision” – in reference to the centennial anniversary of the foundation of modern Turkey. Among the targets that the 2023 vision introduced, the most prominent is to make Turkey one of the world’s top-10 economies.

  • New Turkey” Narrative and Public Policy Change in Turkey1
    THE “NEW TURKEY” NARRATIVE AND PUBLIC POLICY CHANGE IN TURKEY1 Dr. Fethi Ufuk OZISIK* Introduction AKP and the Evolution of Its Rule since 2002’s Legislative Elections The Justice and Development Party (“Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi”), abbreviated JDP in English and AK PARTİ or AKP in Turkish, is a social conservative political party in Turkey. It has developed from the tradition of Islamism, but has officially abandoned this ideology in favor of "conservative democracy" (Duran, 2008; Akdogan, 2006). The party is the largest in Turkey, with 312 members of parliament. Its leader, Ahmet Davutoglu, is Prime Minister, while former party leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan is President of Republic since 2014. Founded in 2001 by members of a number of existing conservative parties, the party has won three general election victories in 2002, 2007 and 2011, winning 34.3%, 46.6% and 49.8% respectively. Having almost won a two-thirds majority of the 550 parliamentary seats in 2002, the party won 341 seats in 2007 and 327 in 2011. The party currently forms a third- term majority government since 18 November 2002, having had their electoral success mirrored locally in the municipal elections of 2004, 2009 and 2014. Shortly after formation, the AKP portrayed itself as a pro-Western and pro- American2 party in the Turkish political spectrum that advocates a liberal market economy including Turkish membership in the European Union3. The party has been described as a “broad right-wing coalition of Islamist, reformist Islamists, conservatives, nationalists, centre- right, and pro-business groups.” (Soner, 2014). The party has for a long time been supported by the Cemaat Movement of exiled Islamic cleric Fethullah Gulen, whose influence in the judiciary has helped to weaken the opposition against the AKP.

  • 34 Chapter Iv the Factors Behind Turkey's
    CHAPTER IV THE FACTORS BEHIND TURKEY’S INCONSISTENCY The inconsistency of Turkish ambition in resolving conflict especially in the Muslim world supposed to be their concern in Islamic democracy values. In the meantime, there was no meaningful action conducted by Erdogan in carrying out many various international agendas on the party's platform related to the Uyghur issue. In this fourth chapter, the researcher will explain why the three influential aspects of Turkish decision-makers have become the pillars that drive its foreign policy towards its partnership with China rather than the Uyghur Issue. A. The Pragmatic Considerations of AKP Towards China In the analysis of foreign policy decision making, the domestic politics of a country have been frequently neglected. Many experts only focused on the international system as the primary explanation, while actually the internal factor also become dominant to actively influence the decision-maker of a country. By referring to the fundamental basis of realism and liberalism, Turkish government under the Erdogan’s leadership is apparently facing the growth of domestic pressure in formulating its foreign policy. In the domestic politics context, Partisan influencers are actually the right type to describe AKP as one of the leading influencers of the decision-maker in arranging the foreign policy. To be known, partisan influencers in here means those individuals that committed to be the members in a political party. As a matter of fact, 34 partisan influencers are not only focusing on domestic policy matters, but also on Turkish foreign policy. That is why AKP as a ruling party in Turkey keeps actively influencing Erdogan to conduct Turkish multidimensional foreign policy (Yılmaz & Özdemir, 2017).
