dc.description.abstractWhy has the United States (US) failed to prevent Turkey from pursuing strategic rapprochement with Russia? Over the last decade, the political, economic and military cooperation between Ankara-Moscow has caused serious concerns in Washington. An analysis based on Yasuhiro Izumikawa's theory of binding strategy explains why the US's coercion-based binding strategy has overall failed to effectively prevent Ankara's deepening strategic cooperation with Moscow. An explanation of the failure of the US's strategy towards Turkey is offered using a triangle model. The main reason for this failure is that the US pursued a coercion-based binding strategy towards Turkey against Russia's reward-based wedging strategy, coupled with a change in Turkey's security environment. This failure was further facilitated by the Turkish political elite's quest for strategic autonomy.
