A chapter in Africa and the Formation of the New System of International Relations—Vol. II, 2023, pp 205-218 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The rise of Turkey in Africa as an actor in multiple areas can be considered as a novelty in the foreign policy of Ankara. From development assistance to investments, from politics to security, Turkey is now an influential player in African politics. Since 2005, the biggest question for Turkey’s African policy was whether or not Ankara could sustain its new policy toward the continent if any economic, social, and political instability occurs within Turkish domestic politics. Relations have continued as in the past and now it can be argued that even the most drastic developments in Turkey are unlikely to change the course of these relations. This article analyzes the developments in Turkey–Africa relations in the last two decades and evaluates the future of these relations in the coming years.
