TI  - From Geopolitical Competition to Strategic Partnership:
Turkey and Russia after The Cold War
AB  - This article examines different analytical perspectives on Turkish-Russian relations and provides a conceptual history
of developing connections between Turkey and Russia since the end of the Cold War. It first reviews evolving political
relations, including military cooperation, and then focuses on economic relations, including energy cooperation.
Finally, it discusses the socio-cultural aspects of bilateral relations, focusing on the movement of people. It shows how
conflicting geopolitical interests have overshadowed the increasing economic cooperation and cultural exchange that
had marked the previous two decades of bilateral relations. Although Turkey and Russia have competing regional
interests, their dissatisfaction with and resentment of Western policies is one of the major reasons for their reluctant
geopolitical cooperation. This article emphasizes the need for a multi-causal and analytically eclectic approach
to analyzing Turkish-Russian relations that selectively recombines analytic components of causal mechanisms in
competing research traditions.
