The main reason why I was motivated to write this article is because my belief in global peace has grown stronger. Of course there are a number of reasons why my belief has
grown stronger over the passed 20 years. First, international organizations have gained valuable experience and shown determination in applying this experience to their mission
over some 60 years. Second, these institutions have the capacity to restructure themselves for global peace. Third, the growing strength and influence of the new actors of the
global system, namely civil society, NGOs. In my evaluation of the process of transition to global peace I will (a) analyze how the global system came into existence through
system theory, (b) explain through constructivist theory how the system transformed, (c) evaluate NATO’s New Strategic Concept through the global system and constructivist
approach. I will conclude this study with an explaination of a term I coined, “Integrated Responsibilities,” which will shed light on the future of the global system and the road to
global peace.

Syria between 1990-2003 and 2011-2014 were not unexpected developments and Turkey’s
inability to accurately assess them in time can be called diplomatic short-sightedness. The
Gulf War and Iraq War, the 2005 Iraqi Constitution and the Arab Spring were the factors
clearly heralding it. Second, it claims that the thesis of "Turkey becoming a regional power
in the Middle East" and Turkish government’s adoption of a global role together with
regional power status, expressed especially by the United States officials on every platform
from 2008 onwards is both invalid and false. This article provides a comparative
explanation of why Turkey is not a regional power. The article also claims that the Justice
and Development governments – JDT or AKP governments - could not realize that they
were under a civilian or Cemaat1 tutelage when they were trying to break the military as
part of the civilian-military relationship. The main goal of this article is to explain the
reasons behind the loss of reputation of Turkish foreign policy since 2008 as well as the
dead-ends it has encountered in domestic politics since 2013.
Keywords: Iraq War, Regional Power, Syrian Civil War, the TFP.
