This study is applied the securitization theory to the case of Turkey’s Syrian Policy during the AK Party era. The main argument was, because Turkey’s foreign and security policies were interconnected and intertwined with each other; the securitization theory was most suited analytical tool to understand the dramatic transformation in Turkey’s Syria Policy. Hence, the dynamics behind this transformation could not be understood only by using traditional or social constructivist approaches to the security. Rather, thesis aimed to develop an inclusive approach that combined the traditional and social constructivist approaches to security with the desecuritization and the securitization theory and also reframed them in the light of coming critics and contributions.
