Artikel ini mengkaji dinamika hubungan dua hala antara Malaysia dan Türkiye dalam tempoh 2000 hingga 2018 dengan mengaplikasikan Teori Konstruktivisme sosial . Berbeza dengan teori realisme atau liberalisme tradisional yang menekankan aspek kekuasaan material semata-mata, kajian ini menghuraikan bagaimana norma sosial, nilai keagamaan (Islam), dan ikatan sejarah lampau membina identiti dan kepentingan nasional bersama kedua-dua buah negara. Dalam konteks hubungan ekonomi, solidariti Islam diterjemahkan secara praktikal melalui penglibatan aktif dalam organisasi multilateral seperti Pertubuhan Kerjasama Islam (OIC) dan Kumpulan Lapan Negara Membangun, yang seterusnya merancakkan kerjasama dalam industri makanan halal, pelancongan Islam, serta pelaburan langsung asing (FDI) dan pelaburan luar negara (DIA). Dengan menggunakan kaedah kualitatif pendekatan sejarah-diplomatik dan reka bentuk triangulasi data (sumber primer, sekunder, dan temu bual informan utama), artikel ini menunjukkan bahawa pembinaan identiti bersama berasaskan gagasan ummah mampu memacu kerjasama ekonomi konkrit dan mengurangkan kebergantungan terhadap kuasa-kuasa ekonomi Barat. Hal ini memperkukuh kedudukan strategik kedua-dua negara tersebut.
This article examines bilateral relations between Malaysia and Türkiye from 2000 to 2018 by applying Social Constructivism Theory. Unlike traditional realism or liberalism, which emphasises material power, this study explains how social norms, religious values (Islam), and historical ties construct the identities and national interests of both countries. In economic relations, Islamic solidarity is translated into practice through active involvement in multilateral organisations such as the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the Developing Eight, which promotes cooperation in the halal food industry, Islamic tourism, foreign direct investment (FDI), and direct investment abroad (DIA). Using a qualitative historical-diplomatic approach and a data triangulation design involving primary sources, secondary sources, and interviews with key informants, this article demonstrates that the construction of a shared identity based on the concept of the ummah can drive economic cooperation and reduce dependence on Western economic powers. This strengthens the strategic position of both countries.
