Turkey has already started to establish High-Level Cooperation Councils to build institutional infrastructure for strategic partnerships in foreign policy and strengthen institutional power in the bilateral cooperation after 2006. The study of Turkish foreign policy is an academically attractive topic mostly in terms of its geopolitical dimensions. The institutional mechanisms that enable the country to interact with other states in a dynamic regional and international environment remain less researched heretofore. The article attempts to highlight the evolution of Turkish foreign policy in terms of institutional changes in the bilateral and multilateral mechanisms. The article applies a case study method with descriptive analysis examining Councils’ functions such as foreign policy coordination and determination of collective commitments and official bilateral targets in the case of Russia - Turkey High-Level Cooperation Council. The article found out that these institutional mechanisms partly justified themselves as a coordination mechanism, but they were relatively weak for achieving the pledged commitments. The Councils were flexible and innovative cooperation mechanisms of the foreign policy to develop bilateral and multilateral ties in the age of the global power restructuring and the volatile conjuncture in world politics.</abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru">Статья посвящена исследованию плюсов и минусов механизмов Совета сотрудничества («стратегического») высшего уровня во внешней политике Турции и оценке их эффективности во внешней торговле, внешнеполитическом сотрудничестве и способности Турции управлять кризисами на примере отношений с Россией. Турция приступила к созданию Советов сотрудничества высшего уровня с целью создания институциональной инфраструктуры для стратегического партнерства во внешней политике и усиления институциональной основы в двустороннем сотрудничестве после 2006 г. Изучение внешней политики Турции является академически привлекательной темой в основном с точки зрения ее геополитического измерения. Но ее институциональные механизмы, которые позволяют стране взаимодействовать с другими государствами в динамичной региональной и международной среде, до сих пор остаются менее изученными. В исследовании предпринята попытка осветить эволюцию внешней политики Турции с точки зрения институциональных изменений двусторонних и многосторонних механизмов. Применяется метод «конкретных ситуаций» с описательным анализом, в котором рассматриваются функции советов, такие как координация внешней политики и определение коллективных обязательств и официальных двусторонних целей на примере деятельности Совета сотрудничества высшего уровня между Россией и Турцией. Также выяснилось, что эти институциональные механизмы частично оправдали себя как механизм координации, но оказались относительно слабыми для выполнения взятых на себя обязательств. Советы являются гибкими и инновационными механизмами сотрудничества во внешней политике для развития двусторонних и многосторонних связей в эпоху перестройки глобального порядка и нестабильной конъюнктуры в мировой политике.</trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Turkish foreign policy</kwd><kwd>High-Level Strategic Cooperation Councils</kwd><kwd>institutional mechanism</kwd><kwd>Russia</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>внешняя политика Турции</kwd><kwd>советы по стратегическому сотрудничеству высшего уровня</kwd><kwd>институциональный механизм</kwd><kwd>Россия</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Akgün, B.
