Key Points

To analyze why and how Turkish foreign policy toward Western allies has transformed in recent years using a theoretical framework of intra-alliance opposition.
Conducted a qualitative balancing study using elite interviews as primary empirical evidence.
Evaluated six case studies spanning a nine-year period, covering defense procurement, the refugee crisis, and energy policies.
Established a statecraft taxonomy dividing intra-alliance opposition into boundary testing, boundary challenging, and boundary breaking.
Demonstrated that Turkey's shift toward boundary-breaking behavior is driven by an interplay of international, regional, issue-specific, and domestic factors.
