Abstract
This chapter argues that Turkey’s reluctant contribution to the United Nations Peacekeeping Operations (UNPKO) is a result of Turkey’s identity constructions of itself and of Others. The chapter overall aims at explaining identity formations by analyzing the discourses and debates especially in the Turkish parliament regarding UNPKO in Africa. Discourse analysis here is inspired by the Essex School and Laclau and Mouffe (Erdogan 2017).
