Abstract:The interaction between politics and economy is the most essential question of surveys in the field of politics and economy. When a state has some political problems, economy can be used to penalty or reward that country. If there is economic interdependence among countries, these methods are accepted invalid. Highly competing countries may consider each other as threat. Even though serious political problems may eventually arise, economic relationships may continue, meanwhile. In this situation, the politics that economic interdependence generate may not always bring peace and cooperation. In this thesis, the question why economy and politics are inversely proportional in some time periods was asked. It was responded to derive from economic interdependence. This thesis claimed that political crises don’t devastate economic relationships when the countries are dependent on each other in economic. Starting from this point, it’s concluded that economy won’t always bring peace and cooperation. In this thesis, the Middle east region was investigated. This survey was tested on Turkey, Israeli and Iran. This area is chosen because of the fact that there is no any imperial state and all actors are in struggle for power.. These three countries are preferred since they are powerful actors, have ascending and descending changes in political relationships, and their economic relationships are dependent. Two methods were used over these two samples. One is quantitative method and the other is qualitative one. In the quantitative investigation with the first method, the volume of foreign trade was analysed in details and offered in statistics. In the qualitative one with the second method, political problems that had been had were measured with the behaviors and utterances whose political actors had in foreign policy The periods of Turkey between 2006 and 2015 when Turkey’s economic relationships with Iran and Israeli rose and its political problems were broken out were investigated with these methods.
