Özet:
Globalization is affecting state behavior in different ways. The purpose of
this study is to understand the ways in which changes in the domestic structures of
torn states due to democratization and decentralization and how these affect alliance
behavior. By analyzing the Turkish-Israeli alliance through a longitudinal
comparative case study comparing system level and state level variables in the
1990s and in the AKP period, the research argues that democratization, which
empowers new elites and enables them to articulate and pursue alternative national
agendas, leads to unpredictable alliance behavior. The findings suggest that purely
systemic theories are not sufficient to address alliances in the contemporary world.
Furthermore, the findings also suggest that globalization may be aggravating
international anarchy.
