Abstract

New global challenges such as strong willingness to development and climate change highlighted politics, security water, and identity nexus so that water resources have become a soft tool for achieving political goals. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the dynamic and complex interactions between water and politics throughout the world, especially in Western Asia as a highly stressed region. Among the West Asian countries, Turkey is one of countries that has been using a considerable part of its water resources to build economic power, advance political strategies and achieve Hydro-hegemony in recent decades. This paper describes Turkey’ s Hydraulic Mission in three categories: domestic Hydraulic Mission projects and nationalize its waters, water transfer projects from Turkey to its neighbors and gets the opportunities from its waters, last but not the least, transboundary water projects and legitimize its hydropolitical actions. In addition, it will be shown how Turkey's government follows up the absolute territorial integrity in their discourses, but in practice, they apply Strategic Depth Doctrine and adopted Hydraulic Mission. Generally, Turkey tries to dominate its neighboring and some non-neighboring countries by Turkey’ s water and its Hydropolitics actions. The results of this study show these projects are not merely aimed at compensating water scarcity in destination countries. Because the volume of water that will be transported can only compensate for a very small fraction of the water scarcity. While they can cause serious economic, security and environmental challenges. Water dependency, as the most indispensable resource for human life, will be one of Turkey's strategies and tools for gaining power in the highly critical Western Asian region.
