2014 Crisis in Ukraine. Perspectives, Reflections, International Reverberations
This book is a collective attempt to present a wide-ranging picture of international attitudes towards the events currently ongoing in Ukraine. As some experts have already tended to claim, in 2014 this post-Soviet state lying in the Eastern part of the European continent has become a scene of the most serious geopolitical standoff since the end of the Cold war. It would be in place here to remind a well-known clear-cut maxim, formulated by Zbigniew Brzeziński in late 1990s and concerning Ukraine’s key role in shaping the Russian imperial self-identity: “Without Ukraine Russia ceases to be a Eurasian empire”. So what may readers expect to find in this book? It has been divided into two parts, reflecting the perspectives on Ukrainian crisis: first, the perspective of Ukraine’s close neighbours from Central Eastern Europe and Turkey; second, the perspectives of the global players like the EU, the US or China. We hope that such a publication focused on the above-mentioned problems and embedded in the actual reality will be useful both for professionals in the field of political science, as well as for those who have an influence on the shape of the foreign policy.
Contemporary Russo–Turkish Relations
This book examines events around the crisis between Russia and Turkey (2015–2016), offering insights into this conflict and its resolution.
Conflict Areas in the Caucasus and Central Asia
The Caucasus region and Central Asia covers a large part of the Eurasian. Both regions, where Russia and China have a serious influence and visibility, also have a location that reflects the hegemonic expectations of both these actors. In this context, domestic political developments and even internal conflicts in the region can be linked to the policies of Russia and China to a certain extent and have the potential to affect the motives of these two powers. Although Central Asia is rich in natural resources, it is landlocked and has lagged other nations in terms of agricultural production and industrial development. Although the Caucasus is divided into the North, the territory of Russia, and the South, where three independent states are located, it is insufficient in terms of production and development. The Caucasus stands out especially with energy projects and its feature of being a commercial corridor.
Insight Turkey 2015 - Spring 2015 (Vol. 17, No. 2)
Energy security, at the heart of energy policy, has become central to the dynamics of international relations. Political turmoil has overwhelmed many oil and gas producing countries, forcing them to adapt their national energy policies according to this continuous change. Specifically, because of the wars and instability in the Middle East and the Ukrainian crisis, global energy security is no longer guaranteed. One of the foremost experts on the energy industry, Daniel Yergin, identifies energy security as “the availability of sufficient supplies at affordable prices.” He also comments that every country interprets the definition of energy security with its own dynamics. In practice, the definition of energy security is polysemic and the topic of energy security is being explored daily, under the lens of numerous new studies, by scholars, energy experts, government officials, activists, and journalists.

Türkiye'nin çatışma bölgelerine yönelik dış politikasının analizi
2002 yılında iktidara gelen AK Parti'nin dış politikasının temel ilkelerinden birisi, komşularla sıfır sorun anlayışıdır. 2010 yılında bölgede yaşanan Arap Baharına kadar, Türkiye’nin komşularla sıfır sorun politikası başarılı şekilde hayata geçmekteydi. Suriye, Irak, İsrail, Filistin, Katar, Mısır gibi Ortadoğu ülkeleri, Balkan devletleri ve Doğu Avrupa ülkeleriyle ilişkiler gelişmiştir. Fakat 2010 yılından itibaren, bölgede artan iç savaşlara/krizlere bağlı olarak Türkiye'nin dış politikasında sıkıntılar görülmeye başlanmıştır. Önceden iyi ilişkiler kurduğu ülkeler ile ilişkileri yavaş yavaş bozulmaya başlamıştır. Bu gelişmeler de, komşularla sıfır sorun politikasından komşularla sırf sorun politikasına geçişin görüldüğü yönünde eleştirilere neden olmuştur. Elinizdeki kitapta, Türkiye’nin bölge krizlerine yönelik izlediği dış politika adımları incelenmektedir.
