Abstract

Instability in the Middle East is a well-known phenomenon and this condition is mostly seen as arising from the rivalry of great powers in the region. However, during the time of the Ottoman Empire, there was stability in the region until its decline. After the establishment of nation-states in the region, stability lasted for a while until international powers left. In this sense, what is needed for stability is a power that is able to unite the region states in an inclusivist manner as the Ottoman Empire had previously managed. Even though there is plenty of research about the region, there has been little analysis of the region using a theoretical framework. Additionally, there is no research that uses an Eastern approach since the dominant knowledge is produced by the West. Therefore, this article is an attempt to analyse instability in the region using a new geopolitical theory called Barakah Circles. Moreover, Turkey’s role in the Middle East will be discussed in line with the theoretical perspective of this study
