Turkey has implemented different instruments of autocracy promotion in his relations with Syria, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Libya, and Egypt. The empirical evidence shows that Turkish diplomacy has been very flexible. On one hand, Erdogan used both hard and soft power; on the other hand, he negotiated with both authoritarian and hybrid regimes. Thus, autocracy promotion led to military interventions, together with a combination of blackmails and rewards; instead, the role of inertial emulation has been lower. The cases of Egypt and Libya were subject of a more specific analysis, which hypothesizes the existence of Erdogan’s project aimed at creating a coalition of Sunni parties, guided by the AKP; in such diplomacy, the starting point would be the values (rather than interests). This study proposes a two-stage division of Erdogan’s promotion of authoritarianism, thanks to a learning process that would have followed the negative experience in Egypt, which would result in a reconsideration of the higher weight given to interests in a later stage. For example, in Artsakh and Libya Erdogan solved conflicts through a territorial compromise. La politica estera della Turchia di Erdogan è stata analizzata nelle relazioni con cinque paesi di Nord Africa, Medio Oriente e Caucaso. La Turchia ha applicato diversi strumenti di autocracy promotion nelle sue relazioni con la Siria, l’Azerbaigian, l’Iraq, la Libia e l’Egitto. L’evidenza empirica ha mostrato che la diplomazia turca è stata molto flessibile. Da un lato, Erdogan ha usato sia l’hard che il soft power; dall’altro egli ha negoziato sia con regimi autoritari che ibridi. In tal modo, l’autocracy promotion turca ha portato a interventi militari, insieme ad una combinazione di premi e punizioni; mentre il ruolo dell’emulazione inerziale è stato inferiore. I casi di Egitto e Libia sono stati approfonditi, ed è emerso il progetto iniziale di Erdogan finalizzato a favorire la formazione di una coalizione di partiti sunniti, guidati dall’AKP. In tale diplomazia, il punto di partenza è stato quello dei valori (piuttosto che degli interessi). Questa ricerca ha proposto una divisione in due fasi dell’autocracy promotion di Erdogan, grazie ad un processo di apprendimento della esperienza negativa in Egitto, che ha portato a una riconsiderazione del (maggior) peso dato agli interessi nella seconda fase diplomatica. Ad esempio, in Artsakh e in Libia, Erdogan ha promosso una risoluzione del conflitto basata sul compromesso territoriale.
