Abstract
Aim. To determine the importance of scientific diplomacy in achieving Turkey’s foreign policy goals in the Arctic. Methodology. The research is based on a comprehensive and discursive analysis of official documents, statements of Turkish officials and scientists. Results. It is concluded that for Ankara, research activities in the region are one of the main mechanisms of influence on the international Arctic community. By forming its scientific competence in the Arctic, Ankara plans to receive recognition of its right to more active participation in the region from the world community in order to further use the potential of the Arctic. Research implications. The results of this analysis can be used to develop a holistic approach to determining Turkey’s place in the Arctic region. From a practical point of view, this will make it possible to develop forecasts about geopolitical processes in the Arctic, which can be useful in developing state policy towards the region.
