Abstract

When the Justice and Development Party came to power in 2002, deep transformation processes began in Turkey’s foreign policy, turning the country not only into a regional but also a global leader. To expand the sphere of geopolitical interests and build long-term bilateral relations with Latin American countries, the Turkish government has developed a new foreign policy strategy based on the concept of “soft power”. This article analyzes the features of the Turkish "soft power" policy in Latin America, its goals and priorities, as well as implementation tools.

KeywordsTurkey, Latin America, Justice and Development Party, “soft power”
