The Role of Coercive Diplomacy in Turkey's Strategic Behaviour: the 1998 Syrian Crisis and the 2007 Incursion into Northern Iraq
In this talk it has been considered the use of coercive diplomacy by Turkey as a medium power in the Middle East. It will base its analysis on two case studies; the crisis between Turkey and Syria in October 1998 due to the latter's support for the PKK, and Turkey's use of military force against the PKK in northern Iraq from December 2007 to the present.
