Grigoriadis analyses the impact of the &#8216;Arab Spring&#8217; on Turkish foreign policy. Turkish foreign policy has been reconfigured in recent years, in order to address the rise of country into the group of &#8216;second-tier BRIC&#8217; states. Exaggerated expectations have, however, met with reality checks. Turkey\u2019s involvement in the &#8216;Arab Spring&#8217; has already taken a toll on the country\u2019s soft power potential, but it has also initiated a learning process for Turkish diplomacy. The potential as well as the limits of Turkey\u2019s ability to influence regional developments and undertake a leadership role have become clearer, while the negative effect of the Kurdish issue on Turkey\u2019s regional leadership potential appears to have been well understood. The re-launch of a negotiation process with Turkey\u2019s Kurds shows that the AKP government is aware of the damage inflicted to Turkey\u2019s capacity to act as arbiter and promote a human rights and democracy-based agenda in transition states in the Middle East. Otherwise, instead of becoming a crisis mediator and stability factor, Turkey may end up in the rather unhappy position of importing instability from the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Working Paper 32\/2013\u00a0authored by Dr Ioannis N.
