The Return of the Empire? The Foreign Policy of Turkey in the Justice and Development Party (AKP) Era and its Influence on the Modern Albanian State
The “strategic depth” paradigm implemented by the AKP, in general aimed at strengthening Turkey’s role in the region, is perceived both as clear pragmatism in foreign policy making and a tool for the neo-ottoman expansion. This paper argues that current foreign policy of Turkey towards Albania is reminiscent of the Kemalist foreign policy towards this country but at the same time it represents a new quality, immanent for the AKP’s perception of international relations. While analyzing Turkey’s influence in the various spheres and the outcomes of Ankara’s foreign policy, this paper seeks to verify the hypothesis that the modern bilateral relations of these two countries shall be perceived rather both as AKP’s pragmatic stance, with possible neo-Ottoman ambitions playing an important role.
