Abstract :The essay addresses an outsider\`s perception of the characteristics and dynamics of the IR field/discipline in Turkey. How may this country serve as a role model or, at the very least, as a source of inspiration, reflection, or evaluation of the field\`s development in other local/national settings? In this respect, Greece is chosen as a case study. Βy addressing and assessing Turkish self-reflection and the search for disciplinary identity within Turkish IR scholarship, what can be learned, on behalf of Greek IR scholarship, regarding both Greece\`s and Turkey\`s social scientific development regarding foreign affairs/policy? A major theme discovered is the acknowledgement of the limitations of the dependency/ vulnerability-centered explanations for the development of IR.Keywords : International Relations discipline field of, Turkey, Greece
