contents GREATER AUTONOMY THROUGH CLOSER RELATIONS WITH CHINA? REVISITING TURKEY-CHINA ENGAGEMENT Veysel Tekdal Relaciones Internacionales China power Turkey autonomy structural power China has evolved into an important provider of resources for developing countries, encompassing capital, know-how and expertise. China has also actively worked to strengthen diplomatic ties with developing regions since the early 2000s. Against this backdrop, the governments in many developing countries have moved to incorporate China as a significant factor in their geopolitical and geoeconomic considerations. Under the rule of the Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi, AKP), Turkey has also sought to foster relations with China, particularly since the early 2010s. This pursuit has been further triggered by Ankara's strained relations with the United States and the European Union. Turkish political leadership envisions China as a potentially crucial partner that could enhance the country's autonomy in relation to the West. While this expectation has not entirely materialized so far, there is an ongoing debate regarding the extent to which China can potentially be a transformative actor in Turkey's position within the international order. This paper contributes to this debate by locating Turkey-China engagement within a broader context of China's power and influence in the developing world. The paper suggests that the potential for Turkey's cooperation with China is likely to remain relatively limited for the foreseeable future. This is not only due to Turkey's deeply rooted ties with the West, but also because of the nature of China's global power, which is more partial and not as deep as commonly assumed. 2024 artículo científico 1657-7558 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=53177656007 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/531/53177656007/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/531/53177656007/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/531/53177656007/53177656007.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/531/53177656007/movil 10.18601/16577558.n39.07 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=531 OASIS application/pdf Universidad Externado de Colombia OASIS (Colombia) Num.39
