The role of Mexican and Turkish capital in the formation of foreign policy re regional integration
The aim of my research is to develop a historical materialist perspective that is able to value the role of capital and the embedded elite in determining national interests and foreign policy issues of Turkey and Mexico. By comparing these two peripheral social formations in terms of their regional geopolitics it is aimed to provide an alternative account of foreign policies in regard of two main concerns. Firstly, how the capitalism institutionalised and reorganised in these two immediate peripheries; secondly, how their geopolitical discourses and goals formed in terms of being the agents of the global capitalism as regional hegemons.
