Trends in the Development of Neo-Republicanism in Contemporary Turkey

The article examines political changes in Turkey that have emerged against the backdrop of the capitalist development of globalization and regionalization systems. These trends are especially noticeable in Turkey’s foreign policy strategy, which has recently been actively transforming into a new neo-republican model characterized by a departure from the traditional form bequeathed by Ataturk and elements of post-imperial modification. The work analyzes the evolution of Turkish republicanism through the lens of contemporary foreign policy practice, including the strengthening of Turkey’s regional influence in the Middle East, Africa, and the Balkans. The study employs methods of comparative analysis, historical institutionalism, and a systemic approach to identify the features of the new foreign policy model. Special attention is paid to the concept of “Imperialism 2.0,” which integrates traditional and modern instruments of influence, as well as the role of ethnoconfessional and cultural-historical factors in shaping the country’s strategic priorities. As a result of the research, it is revealed that modern Turkey seeks to position itself as a regional center of power, combining the realization of its own interests with integration into global processes.
