Abstract:

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of Türkiye is threatening to veto Sweden’s and Finland’s membership application to NATO. He seeks to divert attention from the economic situation in the country and aims to mobilise the conservative-nationalist part of the electorate before the elections in 2023. The arguments of Turkish decision-makers show that the ruling coalition prioritises self-interest over Alliance cohesion even in the face of the Russian threat. The transactional attitude of Turkish decision-makers in the long term will strain Türkiye’s reputation and allied credibility in NATO.
