Discussing the ‘New Türkiye’ in the Context of Strengthening the State

In recent decades, the foundational narratives of modernity have come under intense scrutiny. Global phenomena such as neoliberalism, mass migration, and economic transformation have challenged national sovereignty and questioned the legitimacy of the nation-state model. This article argues that Türkiye, through its ‘New Türkiye’ strategy, is not returning to the early republican ideals but reconfiguring itself as a regional economic and political center. It examines how nationalism and state power are restructured in the post-Kemalist context. Drawing on the work of theorists like Wendy Brown and Carl Schmitt, the article explores the erosion of modern sovereignty and the rise of new state logics. It concludes that the ‘New Türkiye’ reflects a shift away from closed nationalist frameworks towards a pragmatic, multipolar model of statehood, balancing tradition and global repositioning.
