Description
In the post-pandemic world, the current Russian – Ukrainian conflict and the imposed economic sanctions against Russia, placed Europe again in the center of the backlash.
The Cold War frontline sentry of NATO on the borders of the former Soviet Union, Turkiye found itself in the midst of the geopolitical turbulences related to the current multidimensional conflict in Ukraine. The revitalized military confrontation among global powers, the US-China strategic rivalry, the realignment of coalitions particularly in the MENA region and Indo-Pacific, also not forgetting the growing global economic crisis, represent the indicators of the changing world order, where Turkiye plays a historically important regional role, having close political, economic and societal connections with former Soviet satellite states, including the states on the European continent.
