Turkey in the Erdoğan Era: A Regional Power in a Changing World / Lecture

In recent years Erdoğan's Turkey has become a central player on the geopolitical stage. The lecture will look at Turkey today, at Erdoğan's policies and at the country's ambition to establish itself as an independent regional power. We will examine its relations with Russia, the United States and Europe, its involvement in the Middle East and Syria, and its place in the changing international system. We will also ask how the Ottoman past, Turkish identity and Erdoğan's vision shape Turkey's policy today.
