This book is focused on an overview of Türkiye’s increased engagement with Africa particularly West Africa in recent years. It analyses this relationship by applying some concepts like soft power - the influences of its instruments - in international politics. Shortly, it examines this engagement, focusing on Türkiye-Africa relations, especially since ‘The 1998 Opening Action Plan’ relative to the enhancement of cooperation in the political, economic, and cultural fields. The book tries to answer the main questions of why Türkiye has so much engagement and a very fast opening toward Africa, especially in West Africa, and how the interaction is conducted. The book focuses on the cases Türkiye and Senegal, Ivory Coast, Niger, and Guinea-Bissau, examining the cooperation between Türkiye and these countries. It explores the aspects and interests of this cooperation through three variables: Political and diplomatic issues, economic and trade issues, and cultural issues all centered on three major theoretical frameworks (public diplomacy, economic diplomacy, and cultural diplomacy).

As a testament to this dynamic area of inquiry, new research on IL/IR is now being published in a growing list of traditional law reviews and disciplinary journals. The excerpted articles in this volume, all of which were first published in International Organization, represent some of the most important research since serious social science scholarship began in this area more than twenty five years ago. They are important milestones toward making IL/IR a central concern of scholarly research in international affairs.
