| Summary: | This paper analyzes Turkey-Russia energy relations from the perspective of economic interdependence. It is argued
that two factors have an impact on political cooperation under asymmetric interdependence: threat perceptions of
interdependent actors and their strategies to manage the risks stemming from asymmetry. The concept of
securitization helps us understand when and how asymmetric interdependence is perceived as a threat, while the
notion of compartmentalization sheds light on actors’ strategies to minimize the detrimental impact of asymmetry
on cooperation. The case of asymmetric interdependence between Turkey and Russia suggests that when
compartmentalization works effectively and energy interdependence is desecuritized, bilateral political
cooperation is possible. However, when divergent geopolitical interests undermine compartmentalization and
securitize asymmetric dependence, hierarchies of power and competition among interdependent actors are
crystallized. |
