Foreign Policy
We are at the dawn of a new century. The closing days of
the twentieth century witnessed momentous changes in the
form and substance of relations between nations. The old
system is giving way to a new order. Globalization is the
catchword. Significantly, the security perception of the
last fifty years has also been replaced, and in some respects,
is in the process of being replaced, by new perceptions
and considerations. It is a cliché of our times that,
along with new threats to security, and concerns over pressing
social, economic, and environmental issues, the new order
is full of promises for increased cooperation and interaction
among nations. This places a historic and moral responsibility
on governments and societies to overcome the difficulties
in their relations, and to seize the opportunities of the
twenty first century. It is this widening and inspiring
perspective that Turkish foreign policy is determined to
adapt to.
