From development assistance to economy, politics to security, Turkey is now an influential player in African politics. Turkey’s Africa policy has more meaning than a normal foreign policy relation. It is also a mature deepening of South- South cooperation (SSC) in Turkish foreign policy. One of the most novel parts of Turkey’s foreign policy since 2002 is its endeavor to be part of the South-South cooperation and increase its visibilities in development aid projects. This involvement - both at state and NGO levels - is particularly palpable on the African continent. Rather than following the footsteps of other countries, such as traditional donors, Ankara has been trying to develop its own understanding and implementation - the Turkish way - based on experiences mostly gained from Balkans and Central Asian republics. These dimensions explain Turkey’s development policy at ideational, societal and institutional levels in Somalia and beyond in Africa. Religion along with trade is one of the key drivers of this policy at societal and state levels. At ideational front, there has been a new geographical imagination in Turkey that sees Africa from a totally different perspective comparing to a decade ago.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Рост влияния Турции в Африке во многих сферах является достаточно новым явлением для внешней политики Анкары. Динамика движения от помощи развитию к полноценному экномическому сотрудничеству, от политического измерения к обеспечению безопасности позволяет Турции претендовать на статус влиятельного актора в африканском регионе. Политика Турции в Африке что-то большее, чем просто внешнеполитические отношения. Это осознанное углубление направления сотрудничества по линии Юг-Юг. Одним из новейших инструментов внешней политики Турции с 2002 г. является ее стремление стать частью сотрудничества Юг-Юг и повысить свою видимость в проектах помощи в целях развития. Это участие - как на уровне государства, так и на уровне НПО - особенно ощутимо на африканском континенте. Вместо того чтобы идти по стопам других стран-доноров, Анкара пытается развивать свое собственное понимание и реализацию - турецкий путь сотрудничества Юг-Юг, основываясь на опыте, накопленном в основном на Балканах и в республиках Центральной Азии. В статье на концептуальном, социальном и институциональном уровнях анализируется политика Турции по содействию международному развитию в Сомали и в Африке в целом. Религия наряду с торговлей является одним из ключевых факторов этой политики на общественном и государственном уровнях. На идейном фронте в Турции появилось новое географическое видение, в рамках которого Африка рассматривается с совершенно иной точки зрения, чем десятилетие назад.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Turkey</kwd><kwd>SSC</kwd><kwd>Africa</kwd><kwd>Turkey-Africa Relations</kwd><kwd>Somalia</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Турция</kwd><kwd>сотрудничество Юг</kwd><kwd>Юг</kwd><kwd>Африка</kwd><kwd>турецко-африканские отношения</kwd><kwd>Сомали</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><award-id></award-id></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Ali, A.
