dc.description.abstract | Since the end of the Cold War, Turkey and South Korea have been actively
participating in peace operations. Both states have many commonalities, such as
substantial economic and military capabilities, considerable regional political
influence, and strong relationships with the United States. Another similarity they
share is in terms of their decisions to send troops to relatively risky operations in
which they have no direct economic or strategic interests. The aim of this thesis is to
find out the decisive motivations of Turkey and South Korea, which could both be
identified as “allied new middle powers,” for sending troops to the post-Cold War
peace operations. Through analyzing the processes that led up to Turkey’s and South
Korea’s decisions to participate in UNOSOM II, UNIFIL II, and ISAF, I have
reached a conclusion that both states are highly motivated by future-oriented
ideational considerations, namely, their intentions to become multi-regional or global
actors in the new era. I have also discovered that indirect security concerns, the
domestic factors, and potential economic benefits are less influential motivating
factors for both Turkey and South Korea. | en_US |
