What is it about?
Turkey is an important regional power and emerging aid donor. I look at all the bilateral aid Turkey has given since 1992 and explore why some countries get more Turkish aid. I show that pre-AKP Turkish aid used to be determined by international alignments and coethnicity, but after the Islamic AKP (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi) took power, political ties lost importance. Turkey began to give more economic aid to trade partners and more humanitarian aid to Muslim nations.
