Abstract

The introduction chapter proposes an integrated research design outlining theoretical–empirical framework of the book. This proposal can be used as a practical guide for discursive–contextual analysis of (non)cooperation in international relations. In terms of theoretical basis, (non)cooperation is conceived as an experiential phenomenon mutually constituted by discourse and context. With regard to empirical orientation, the chapter provides a research puzzle by problematizing partiality of cooperation in Turkey–Iraq relations. Four episodes (Saadabad-1937/Baghdad-1955 pacts, Gulf-1991/Iraq-2003 wars) are sketched to explore partial cooperation dilemmas in three main respects: pre-event contextual reasons, discursive reasonings during the event, and post-event contextual consequences. More importantly, this chapter develops hypothetical typologies for analyzing utilitarian–normative ambivalence that feeds into partial ontology and rhetoric of cooperation. Last but not least, the author highlights political narratives–frames that perpetuate partiality of cooperation by paradoxical rationalizations and ambiguous contextualizations.
