Turkey in the New Environment: Evaluation of Strategy Alternatives Through a Strategic Planning Model
Abstract
This thesis provides the reader with a discussion of possible national strategies that Turkey's leadership might wish to evaluate for the future of the country. As with any other organization, Turkey has the task of formulating its strategy and making the appropriate changes to protect its vital interests and achieve its objectives in the changing environment. The author gives a background on the evolution of Turkey's present strategy, and outlines Turkey's current external and internal environments that are relevant to Turkey's strategic choices. Strategic issues are identified and the possible major strategies for Turkey are discussed. Turkey has seen many dramatic changes in its surrounding environment with the end of Cold War and disintegration of Soviet Union, and has experienced several setbacks with its relations with the West, all of which requires it now to identify its objectives and formulate new strategies in order to meet the demands of the current situation and not to lack behind the events. The aim of this thesis is to apply a strategic planning model to the task of identifying viable alternative strategies for consideration by Turkey's national leadership.
