Abstract
This thesis is a study on change and stability in Turkish foreign policy towards the Middle East. Kjell Goldmann's theory on change and stability in foreign policy is applied to Turkish foreign policy towards the Middle East. It is argued that since the mid-1960s, Turkish foreign policy towards the Middle East has been stabilized; there have been no changes in the policy except for adjustment changes. In this study, the stability in Turkish foreign policy towards the Middle East is explained with the help of thirteen foreign policy stabilizers presented within the framework of Kjell Goldmann's theory.
