Summary: The study "Turkey and Red Sea Security: Strategic Drivers, Engagement and Implications" by Abdulrahman Alhammadi analyzes the transformation of Turkey’s foreign policy in the Red Sea from a stability-oriented, non-intervention approach to a more assertive and proactive strategy rooted in the concept of “strategic depth.” It examines the key motivations behind Turkey’s outreach—leveraging historical and geographic advantages to expand regional influence through military cooperation and infrastructure investments with countries such as Somalia, Sudan, and Djibouti. The book explores how this evolving engagement affects regional power balances, maritime security, and global trade flows. It also assesses the cooperative and competitive dimensions of Turkey’s relations with regional actors and concludes with policy recommendations for the UAE’s engagement with Turkey amid ongoing geopolitical realignments in the Red Sea region.
