This project examines Turkey´s evolving relations with iran through Iraqi, Syrian, and Kurdish politics, focusing on their approach to regional connectivity, major initiatives, and the impact of ongoing developments like the war in Gaza on EU, US, and UK security policies.
This project explores how political and ideological influences shape youth values, how young people view democracy, and whether their stances are flexible or rigid across various socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. As nationalist, conservative, and authoritarian narratives become more dominant, youth responses to these shifts hold important implications for Turkey’s future direction.
The project analyses Turkey's regional peacebuilding interventions, focusing on how its methods in conflicts, such as those in Palestine, Syria, and Iraq, influence local and regional authoritarianism, impact humanitarian efforts, and shape the emerging Middle Eastern security order, with policy recommendations for European and British collaboration with Turkey.
This project explores the nature of Turkey's efforts to balance integration with Western institutions, particularly the EU, with the simultaneous pursuit of closer cooperation with Russia and China in the aftermath of the domestic presidential transition, as well as the global pandemic and ongoing regional wars.
