Özet
Alliances under unipolarity operate with different logic than under bipolarity. Unipolarity makes the twin dangers of
abandonment and entrapment more likely for the weaker states that need the unipole for the pursuit of their regional
security interests. The article takes the US-Turkish relations within the context of Syrian conflict as exemplary and
shows how the strategic discrepancies between the US-Turkish positions paved the way for Turkey’s abandonment in
Syria. The article concludes that the unipole’s strategic alliance commitments are no longer reliable for regional allies
to assume risky regional restructuring roles as they face the risk of abandonment on the halfway.
