    Ontological insecurity, anxiety, and hubris: an affective account of Turkey-KRG relations
    (International Relations Council of Turkey, 2022-03-10) Kayhan Pusane, Özlem; Ilgıt, Aslı
    Given Iraqi Kurds’ special place in Turkey’s ‘biographical narrative’, Turkey-Iraqi Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) relations are not simply strategic or economic but also highly affectively charged. These relations involve emotional encounters filled with anxiety, pride, anger, and disappointment that generate concerns for not only Turkey’s physical security but also its ontological security. This paper traces the emotional context of Turkey-KRG relationship. It suggests that a combination of Turkey’s deep-rooted ‘anxiety’ and ‘hubris’ toward the Iraqi Kurds prevented the emergence of a close partnership between these two actors and fostered merely a ‘fragile rapprochement’ since 2008.

    The role of context in desecuritization: Turkish foreign policy towards Northern Iraq (2008–2017)
    (Routledge, 2020-05-26) Kayhan Pusane, Özlem
    For decades, Turkish policymakers have perceived the possible emergence of a Kurdish autonomous region or an independent Kurdish state in northern Iraq as an existential threat to Turkey. However, from 2008 onwards, under the Justice and Development Party government, Turkish foreign policy towards the Iraqi Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) was gradually desecuritized. In light of Turkey?s experience, this paper explores the role of context in desecuritizing foreign policy issues in general and Turkish foreign policy towards the KRG in particular. It argues that the changing civil?military relations in Turkey as well as the country?s broader political and economic conjuncture allowed for the desecuritization of Turkey-KRG relations from 2008 onwards. The context also determined what kind of a desecuritization Turkey experienced towards the KRG.

    Türkiye’nin Kuzey Irak politikasında değişim: Turgut Özal ve Tayyip Erdoğan dönemleri karşılaştırmalı analizi
    (Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2017) Kayhan Pusane, Özlem
    1960’lardan itibaren Türk politika yapıcıları Irak’taki Kürt hareketine karşı mesafeli bir tutum takınmış ve benzer olayların Türkiye’de de yaşanmasından kaygı duymuşlardır. Fakat, Türkiye, öncelikle 1990’ların başında, sonra da 2007/2008 yıllarından itibaren, Kuzey Irak’a karşı mesafeli tutumunu bir tarafa bırakarak, aktif ve Iraklı Kürtlerle yakın ilişkiler geliştirme odaklı politikalar izlemiştir. Bu çalışmada, söz konusu iki dönemde Türkiye’nin Kuzey Irak politikası değişikliklerinin ne kadar lider kaynaklı olduğu ve ne ölçüde yapısal/çevresel unsurların etkisiyle gerçekleştiği sorularına yanıt aranmaktadır.
