Abstract

Purpose: to illuminate the ethnopolitical aspects of Turkey's median hedging strategy, which has been significantly influenced by the Russian military aggression against Ukraine. This strategy serves as a potential model for maintaining national stability amidst the challenges of globalisation. Method: analysis and synthesis, comparative, modelling, analogies, and functional. Findings: Determination of the conceptual foundations of Turkey's foreign policy against the background of the Russian military aggression against Ukraine; analysis of Turkey's median hedging policy as a model for ensuring the national stability of the state in the face of challenges and threats of globalisation. Theoretical implications: It consists of determining the main ethnopolitical features of Turkey's median hedging as a mechanism for ensuring the national stability of the state against the background of the Russian military aggression against Ukraine and the formation of a foreign policy course. Practical implications: This study sheds light on the evolving security architecture of Europe and the world, particularly through the lens of Turkey's median hedging policy. The findings suggest a need for reevaluating defence and foreign policy strategies, enhancing state stability, increasing military expenditures, and forging new alliances. These insights can be valuable for professional researchers, geopolitics and geostrategy analysts, security and defence sector representatives, international organisations as well as state and local authorities. Originality: This research stands out for its exploration of the ethnopolitical dimensions of Turkey's foreign policy, particularly in the context of escalating globalisation challenges and the Russian military aggression against Ukraine. The study underscores the state's deepening median hedging policy as a response to these dynamics. Paper type: theoretical, practical.
