Turkey in Africa: Turkey's Strategic Involvement in Sub-Saharan Africa

Autor Dr Federico Donelli
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 apr 2021
Africa is increasingly becoming an arena for geopolitical competition over its resources and, in the last two decades, has seen many emerging powers such as China, India, Russia, Japan and Brazil attempting to strengthen their ties with the continent. Turkey's involvement has been much less discussed, despite the fact that Turkey's strategic involvement with several sub-Saharan African states has been deepening since its active engagement in the Somali crisis of 2011.Federico Donelli brings to light the extent of Turkey's involvement in Africa and analyses the unique characteristics, benefits, challenges and limits of Turkish policy in the region. The book examines the Turkish diplomatic programme as well as its domestic reception, which includes humanitarian aid, religious links such as the OIC (Organisation of Islamic Cooperation), as well as private business links. Crucially, Donelli examines what makes Turkish involvement different from that of other international actors in the region - its historic ties with North Africa under the Ottoman Empire.

Recenzii

[H]ighly recommended for academics and students seeking a greater knowledge of Turkey's policies in Africa as middle powers are assuming a greater role in diplomatic and economic activity on the African continent. The book is especially informative regarding the Horn of Africa and comprehensively deals with Turkish motivations, modes of operation, and perspectives regarding the continent of Africa in general.
Federico Donelli's book Turkey in Africa represents a successful overarching attempt to analyze the Turkish strategic involvement in sub-Saharan Africa ... The recommended reading audience, thanks to an academic but accessible style, embraces a wide number of people starting from the government level, policymakers, scholars, reaching students approaching this topic for the first time to the passionate reader.
As a whole, the book presents an introductory portrait of Turkey's actions and decision-making in the environment of the new division of Africa. This is an ideal read for those who wish to know the relations between that specific region sub-Saharan Africa and the political, economic and social objectives of Turkey, with an overview of its motives and ideas in a cohesive and fluid narrative. (A Bloomsbury Translation)
The contribution of these two works is undeniable, since they fill some gaps in the analysis of these relationships, and instruct anyone who wishes to deepen his knowledge of Turkish trajectories in Africa.
The book offers a fascinating study that will lead to future academic exploration in this field.
Federico Donelli has written a fascinating, authoritative exploration of the evolution of Turkish involvement on the African continent. Anchored in a sophisticated neoclassical realist theoretical framework, Turkey in Africa delivers a nuanced, sweeping analysis of Ankara's rapidly growing political, economic and humanitarian interventions in Africa. This is an important contribution to the emerging literature on Turkish foreign policy and on the new terms of engagement for Middle Eastern powers in Africa.
Donelli's book will be essential reading for those seeking to understand Turkey's role in Africa, especially in the Horn of Africa, where its influence has increased dramatically in the last decade. Engaging with existing literature and brining years of observations to bear, Donelli also-crucially-analyses the drivers of Turkey's foreign policy and the changes in Africa's place among Ankara's priorities.
