土耳其“向东看”的战略举措及影响

Abstract:“Looking East” is the adjustment of Turkish diplomacy，i.e.from merely relying on the western world to develop the relations with the eastern countries，which is the choice by Turkey based on its own development，the difficulties when trying to join the EU and the rise of emerging powers.“Looking East” is the Erdogan administration’s idea about governance and development.By its geopolitics and multi nature，Turkey is trying to constructing “Strategic Depth” and a powerful state.In general，Turkey’s “looking East” is not “turning East”，but kind of balance diplomacy “both West and East”.In the long run，Turkey’s “looking East” would not only expand its ability dealing with the outside world，but also boosting its influence as a regional power，which will change the power structure of Middle East.However，whether or not “looking East” would change Turkey’s development direction is still uncertain.
