The risk of world disorder
By Muhittin AtamanThe world has been in transition since the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the bipolar world system in the early 1990s.

The United States could not ensure the unity of the West: Western European countries followed different, sometimes conflictual, policies.

The outlook for Türkiye’s foreign policy post-election
By Kadir ÜstünWe experienced another historic night on May 14. The number of votes President Erdoğan received, surpassing 27 million, represents the highest vote count ever recorded.

The problems among the opposition, their inability to offer a clear message despite the formulation of a joint program, and the difficulties faced by candidate Kılıçdaroğlu in persuading large masses determined the fate of the election. Thanks to the strong psychological advantage brought by the first round, Erdogan will secure a greater proportional advantage and win in the second round.

Assessing Western aid to Ukraine: how far can it...
By Kadir ÜstünThe West's inability to gain support from the global South, its military capacity being weakened, concerns about its inability to handle China's intervention in Taiwan, and the lack of probability of taking back Donbas and Crimea, strengthens the arguments that support for Ukraine should be proportional to a political objective.
