    Turkey's humanitarion diplomacy in Somalia (2011-2020): a neoclassical realist interpretation
    (İstanbul Gedik Üniversitesi, 2021) Farah, Ibrahim Mohamed; Sezer, Selim
    For a long time, humanitarian and financial aid have usually recognized either as the liability of the first world toward the third world or as the assistance of allies to one another and therefore disregarded as non-scholarly matter. However, as of the beginning of the 21st century, humanitarian and financial aid turned into a much more complex phenomenon involving political, economical, diplomatic, ideological, and moral aspects. Moreover, the character of humanitarian and financial aid has changed when emerging great and regional powers started to use them as a strong foreign policy tool. This research studies the purpose and effects of Turkey's leadership position in the areas of humanitarian and financial aid in the global by inspecting Turkey's policy of Humanitarian diplomacy in Somalia which has been in place since 2011. Turkey's leading position in humanitarian aid in Somalia remains as an intriguing subject for scholars as Somalia faces external and internal power vacuum problems in statebuilding and peace-building processes. This thesis investigates the reasons as to why Turkey conducts humanitarian diplomacy in Somalia through the theory of Neoclassical Realism. This thesis argues that Turkey has been trying to fill up this power vacuum in Somalia by using humanitarian diplomacy. Even though Neoclassical Realism is often neglected in examining foreign policy by many scholars, findings of this study suggest that Neoclassical Realism is the most appropriate theory to analyze Turkey's activism regarding humanitarian diplomacy in Somalia.
