SETA Security Radar | Türkiye’s Geopolitical Landscape in 2023

In this new volume of SETA Security Radar, we analyze the main dynamics shaping Türkiye’s security and geopolitical landscape with references to the most significant foreign policy and security issues throughout 2022.

Türkiye is at the center of a series of geopolitical, security, and destabilizing challenges ranging from the war in Ukraine, the fragile peace in the southern Caucasus, widespread mass protests in Iran, terror threats from northern Iraq and northern Syria, Türkiye-Greece tension over the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean to the negative impacts of the more global and transnational issues such as great power politics, economic impacts of the global pandemic and mass irregular migration that exacerbate the existing challenges. In line with such a challenging environment, Türkiye puts up certain coping mechanisms and policies to mitigate the damaging impacts of the said risks and challenges and strives to seize opportunities that might arise out of crises as much as possible.

In this new volume of SETA Security Radar, we analyze the main dynamics shaping Türkiye’s security and geopolitical landscape with references to the most significant foreign policy and security issues throughout 2022. Since Türkiye does not navigate in a vacuum we also take stock of the regional and global contexts of the issues of highest concern and preoccupation for Türkiye. Based on our assessment of the dynamics and developments defining Türkiye’s security and geopolitical landscape, we predict how these dynamics and developments will pan out” in 2023.
