Özet:

As a result of globalization, the transformation of the state and civil society relationship in international relations has revealed public diplomacy as an example of soft power as well as traditional diplomacy. Public diplomacy activities carried out by states have become an area in which non-governmental organizations play an active role in time. Turkey was also affected from these developments occurring at national and international level in the world. The internationalization of civil society organizations have started at this point. Especially since the 80’s of neo-liberalism driven by the intensive use of the discourse civil society organizations in Turkey has become more important. Humanitarian aid activities and the development of economic relations have formed the backbone of the discourses and practices that bring civil society to the fore. However, because of the social, political and economic sense due to some differences, NGOs in Turkey does not have the level of activity like the developed societies. NGOs in Turkey ultimately influenced by developments such as globalization, internationalization has been built, but, has not reached the capacity to interfere with foreign policy discourse and construction. But NGO’s are taking an active role particularly in the humanitarian activities and the implementation and promotion of Turkey's foreign policy in the different regions.
