    Evolving Policies of the EU Towards Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: Changing Actor Identities and Geostrategic Interests
    (Seta Foundation, 2025) Yaris, Zelal Basak; Acar, Necmettin; 04.03. Department of Political Science and International Relations / Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkiler Bölümü; 04.

    From the 1980s onwards, the EU took a balanced approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In the last two decades, the EU has abandoned its role as a normative and neutral player. It appeared to address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict within the context of security. On this basis, the paper aims to assess changing policies of the EU towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict since the early 1970s. By revisiting constructivist theories, the study attempts to find out the role of the identities in the EU's policies toward the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It concludes that the shift in the identities of the major political actors from the Palestine Liberation Organization to Hamas led to the reformulation of its policy toward Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

    The Impact of Elite Fragmentation on Saudi Foreign Policy
    (Ilem, 2022) Acar, Necmettin
    In the post-2015 period, Saudi Arabia has turned to an assertive and interventionist foreign policy in the Levant, South Arabia and Gulf region. In this period, the traditional system based on the balanced distribution of power and prestige within the Saud dynasty weakened and the cohesion between the elites disappeared. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's removal of the powerful members of the Saud dynasty from the upper levels of the administration was the most important reason for the elite fragmentation in the country. As of 2021, the lifting of the Qatari blockade without any positive results, the failure to achieve the expected political gains from the Yemen war and the failure to establish a political order in favor of Saudi Arabia in Lebanon reveal that the assertive foreign policy does not make the expected contribution to the national security and interests of the country. One of the most important reasons for these failures in the foreign policy of the country is the elite fragmentation that has emerged recently.
