Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Given the strategic significance of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) on the global stage, particularly in relation to Turkey's established relationships and ongoing developments within the region, this paper aims to highlight the trade dynamics between Turkey and MENA in the context of the Arab Spring revolutions. Utilizing both historical and descriptive analytical methodologies, as well as quantitative approaches, the study analyzes Turkish foreign trade data to identify key indicators that reflect the impact of the Arab Spring on trade dynamics. The findings indicate that the Arab Spring revolutions have influenced the trade volume between Turkey and the MENA region post-2012, with varying effects observed across different countries. While Turkey's trade balance with the MENA region remains more favorable compared to other regions, the growth rate of trade volume with MENA has been slower than that with other regions.
