The Foreign Policy Programme exists to contribute to the democratisation of foreign policy in Turkey and abroad by creating an environment for dialogue on key issues. Unlike the past, we believe that access to information and transparency, dialogue, pluralism, participation and advocacy are essential components of foreign policymaking now and in the future. Through our research and advocacy activities, the programme aims to promote solutions to outstanding problems in Turkey’s region. These activities are grouped under four streams: Bilateral relations, Turkey’s region, perceptions research and the European Union. Within these work streams we look at issues like Turkey’s EU accession, Turkey-Middle East relations, stability in the Caucasus, the Cyprus problem and public perception of foreign policy.
