As a cooperating institution, the International Relations Council of Turkey (IRCT – Uluslararasi Iliskiler Konseyi Dernegi) was allocated a panel by the Organizing Committee for the ISA (International Studies Association) Annual Convention in San Francisco, 3-6 April 2013.
The overall theme of the Convention is “the Politics of International Diffusion: Regional and Global Dimensions”. In this context, we would like to invite the members of IRCT to submit paper proposals for IRCT panel on “Turkey’s Transformation from a ‘National Security’ State to a ‘Trading’ State: Transmission of Norms and Ideas”.
We welcome paper proposals that address the role of the transmission of global/regional norms, institutions, regimes, trends and ideas on the following themes:
- Spreading of democratic ideals around the world and domestic context of Turkish foreign policy
- Global economic dynamics and economy-politic of Turkish foreign policy
- The changing role of Turkish military in foreign-policy making
- Europeanization/EU impact on Turkish domestic politics and foreign policy
- Changing conceptualization of security and Turkey’s security culture
- Impact of global geo-political dynamics on Turkey’s regional policy
These are suggestive titles that can be complemented with other topics on Turkish domestic politics and foreign policy. Please note that this panel will be accommodating 5-6 papers and 1-2 discussants. Potential paper-givers are not limited to IRCT members; instead we would like to compose a panel of scholars from different academic and geographical backgrounds.
