In social sciences, “units” are shapers of their own destiny, rather than bearers of systemic logics beyond their comprehension and control. However, social science research has for a long time searched for devices that could provide the analysis with lawlike generalizations, and it allegedly found them in “rationality” and “material interest” (Hay 2011, 74). ” But as Colin Hay (2011, 76) asserts, “There is nothing very ‘objective’ about interests that can be discerned only under conditions of complete information.
As Cem (2000, 3) himself put it, “I do not underestimate some of the inherent positive characteristics of the Ottoman ethic, and the role of humanitarian aspects of the Muslim religion that the Ottomans cherished, but there should be other factors contributing to the high degree of tolerance that prevailed for centuries . . ” In fact, when it comes to İsmail Cem’s foreign policy thinking, it is noteworthy that in his perception of Turkey’s Islamic history as a cultural tool to be used in foreign policy, he in no way prioritized Turkish Muslim identity in its contemporary situation: The contemporary Turkish Republic should consider its identity as the expression of all cultures which have thrived in our land; as the possessor of a great cultural heritage that can be traced to Ion, Byzantium, Central Asia, the Seljuks and the Ottomans.
To conclude, national identity partly defines/constitutes the state identity, but state identity cannot be reduced to national identity. State identity is also defined/constituted by the international system. In other words, an international system creates/maintains “positions” or “statuses” (Wendt would call these “roles”) that a particular state can take. The notion of status refers to international stratification. In addition, it is based on the assumption that any international system has a pattern of stratification that reflects differentials of involvement in the affairs of the system, the extent of foreign commitments, military capabilities, prestige, and the level of economic-technological development (Holsti 1970).
