Where does Türkiye stand? A glimpse at the Turkish policy in 2023

08
September 2023
Akram Zaoui & Serhat Suha

This podcast was recorded before the second round of the Turkish presidential election. While the result of the latter was still unknown, the first round as well as the legislative elections had marked clear tendencies within the Turkish society. Amongst them, a form of affirmation and rebirth of nationalism as drivers and revived guiding principles of the functioning of the Turkish polity. In particular, a key observation that was drawn after the first results of Türkiye's general elections were known was that the weak economic results, which Mr. Erdogan's heteredox policies had led to, did not seem to weaken the ability of the president's popular base to mobilize for its champion. For this episode of the PCNS podcasts, Dr. Serhat Suha, senior researcher at Trends Research and Advisory, answered the questions of Mr. Akram Zaoui, Senior Specialist at the PCNS.

    Donald Trump, a golf addict with a self-declared handicap of 3, is not noted for any chess enthusiasm, although the game is a simulation of a battle, and filled with military terminology such as double attack, demolition, breakthrough, decoying, interception, blockade, and x-ray attack among others. The historic game is intellectual, structured, and logic. The object is to maneuver the antagonist’s king into a position from which escape is impossible. The two contenders - at times - ...

    La conférence organisée par l'Institut Montaigne et l'OCP Policy Center à Paris le 12 avril a abordé la question de l'investissement étranger dans une Afrique perçue à la fois comme une menace et un nouvel eldorado en Europe. "L’Afrique et l’Europe sont dans une même voiture, à  l’avenir elles peuvent aller très haut et très vite ou se fracasser contre un mur", a affirmé Jean-Michel Huet, consutant pour Bearing Point. Son regret : que l'Afrique soit un sujet encore très peu perçu pa ...

    The young women sitting in the Olympic ice hockey stadium of Kwandong, South Korea, were dressed like a group of gorgeous stewardesses on an outing after graduating from flight school, or as if they were celebrating the survival of an emergency landing. They applauded in a very methodical fashion, a well-studied rhythm that their eternal Supreme leader Kim Jong-Un certainly did not learn at his Swiss boarding school “Liebefeld Steinhoelzi” near Bern, Switzerland. Who dares to confir ...

    February 22, 2018
    La présence chinoise en Méditerranée fait l’objet d’interrogations croissantes au sein des diplomaties des pays du Maghreb comme d’Europe du Sud. En effet, ces cinq dernières années, la Chine décline avec un activisme croissant ses priorités nationales à l’échelle méditerranéenne. Cet activisme peut se résumer en trois axes principaux : création de forums de coopération sectorielle Chine-Europe du Sud, investissements dans les infrastructures de transport, énergétiques et de télécom ...

This activism can be summarised into three main areas: creating China-Southern Europe sectoral cooperation forums, investments in transport, energy and telecommunications infrastructure, and cond ...

    This paper discusses the expanding links between China, Central Asia and Russia over the past quarter a century, most recently via the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), in geopolitics and trade/ investment, as well connections in oil, gas and electricity. These links that continue to expand are likely to change the current economic, political and energy landscape beyond recognition. They are forging mutual economics dependencies and reducing security risks. The paper also assesses wh ...
