Foreign Policy
We are at the dawn of
a new century. The closing days of the twentieth century witnessed
momentous changes in the form and substance of relations between nations.
The old system is giving way to a new order. Globalization is the
catchword. Significantly, the security perception of the last fifty years
has also been replaced, and in some respects, is in the process of being
replaced, by new perceptions and considerations. It is a cliché of our
times that, along with new threats to security, and concerns over
pressing social, economic, and environmental issues, the new order is
full of promises for increased cooperation and interaction among nations.
This places a historic and moral responsibility on governments and
societies to overcome the difficulties in their relations, and to seize
the opportunities of the twenty first century. It is this widening and
inspiring perspective that Turkish foreign policy is determined to adapt
to.
