Özet:This thesis examines Turkey’s approach to humanitarian intervention in the cases of Bosnia and Kosovo that took place in the post-Cold War period. Concerning Turkey’s foreign policy and the doctrine of humanitarian intervention, this study makes a substantial contribution to the existing literature. The way Turkey formulated and implemented its approach to humanitarian intervention is analyzed through qualitative techniques. This thesis asserts that three factors had an impact on the formation of Turkey’s approach to humanitarian intervention, namely 1) the historical background of the crises, 2) the reactions of international community, and 3) Turkey’s own conditions, initiatives, and experiences in dealing with the crises of Bosnia and Kosovo. Additionally, this study argues that Turkey’s approach to humanitarian intervention was shaped within the framework of Turkey’s advocacy of implementing humanitarian intervention in the international arena, and its contribution to international military coalitions with its own troops by eschewing unilateral military action. As a result, it was concluded that Turkey’s approach to humanitarian intervention in the cases of Bosnia and Kosovo was an outcome of the mixture of both its altruistic and strategic motives.
