Abstract
Since the last quarter of the twentieth century, the actors of global politics have multiplied, and their relationships have diversified. This has also led to a redefinition of foreign policy strategies. States tend to increase their public diplomacy activities. Cuisine, the most tangible form of cultural resource, has become one of the powerful tools of public diplomacy. Food, dishes, and cuisine have played an essential role throughout history and have begun to be defined as a diplomacy tool. We define gastrodiplomacy as a public diplomacy activity that aims to attract people through food. Turkey has a unique culinary culture due to its location and multicultural character. A Turkish cuisine is a tool that deserves to be promoted in Turkish foreign policy and an opportunity for nation branding. This article examines the concept of gastrodiplomacy, identifies the components of Turkish cuisine, shows Turkey's gastrodiplomacy activities, and offers suggestions for Turkey's gastrodiplomacy initiatives.
