After the Cold War, a new era began in the Eurasian region, with the countries that gained their independence from the USSR acquiring a place in the international system. After 1991, the absence of strong international gravity in Russia increased the positive relations of many countries with the West. As this book shows, across the world, there are regions caught between identity and power. In this respect, the ideological origin of the Russian Federation’s foreign policy goals is connected with its position as a great power. On this note, the book analyses the great powers’ challenges in Eurasia within the framework of strategic interests, conflict, and cooperation.
This book is focused on an overview of Türkiye’s increased engagement with Africa particularly West Africa in recent years. It analyses this relationship by applying some concepts like soft power - the influences of its instruments - in international politics.

The book focuses on the case...
Afrika ülkeleri, günümüzde kolonyalizm ile neo-kolonyalizm ikileminde tutulmaya çalışılıyor. Türkiye’nin özellikle 2000’lerde geliştirdiği ve kapsamı giderek genişleyen Afrika vizyonu ise bu ikilemi kırmakla kalmayıp aynı zamanda ciddi bir alternatif olarak ön plana çıkıyor. Nitekim Türkiye’nin Afrika’ya yönelik karşılıklı kazanmaya dayalı ve insanı merkeze alan samimi, şeffaf, adil ve eşitlikçi yaklaşımı kıta ülkelerinden de ciddi bir karşılık buldu. Afrika, algısal düzeyde uzak, gelişmemiş ve sorunlarla yaşamaya mahkum bir kıta görünümündeyken, gerçekliklerin etkisiyle bu algı gün geçtikçe olumlu anlamda değişiyor. Bu nedenl...
"The Bektashi Way is profoundly simple yet perplexingly complex, striking in its boldness yet gracious in its subtlety; consequently, while shining forth brightly it still is seemingly cloaked in obscurity. There have been attempts to gather its history, characteristic ideas, and observable aspects together and to elucidate its inner wisdom in prose, but few of these attempts have been made by knowledgeable insiders, and even fewer of these have been made in English. This full translation of Baba Rexheb's Islamic Mysticism and the Bektashi Path from its original Albanian is thus a unique addition to the literature on Bektashism in English, and a boon to those who seek to know more about this clearly enigmatic way." --- Vafi Baba

Can moral behavior exist in a world of states? Under what conditions? Where if at all, do norms for moral behavior, considerations of right and wrong, fit in the relations between states? Drawing upon many historical examples, Stanley Hoffmann examines the complex questions of whether or not ethical action is possible in international politics and, if it is, what are the obstacles and constraints? Duties Beyond Borders tries to answer these questions and to suggest a course of "ethical politics" based on a pragmatic, realistic approach to international politics.
