For decades, Turkey has relied on NATO’s nuclear deterrence, with U.S. warheads stationed at Incirlik Air Base. But shifting regional dynamics have begun to test this arrangement. Israel’s military operations in Syria, its regional overreach, and uncertainty over NATO’s willingness to defend Turkey raise a troubling question: could Ankara rethink its nuclear stance?

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was cordially received by U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on September 25. Progovernment media celebrated the Oval Office meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump as a diplomatic success that might reset troubled U.S.-Turkey relations. Yet, instead of opening a new page with Washington, Erdoğan’s visit unexpectedly highlighted something else: the question of succession and the rivalries within his own circle.

Trump’ın ikinci döneminde ABD’de uygulanmaya başlayan gümrük tarifeleri, şirketlerin işleyişine doğrudan müdahaleler ve stratejik sektörlerde devletin fiilen ortak konuma gelmesi, kapitalizmin merkezinde radikal bir dönüşümün işaretleri olarak karşımıza çıkıyor.

Today, Turkey’s overtures to non-Western initiatives are no longer surprising to the US and Europe. Yet, what does this visit say about Turkey’s place in the shifting balance between the United States and China?

Warships in the Caribbean: Trump’s Gamble with Venezuela While Latin America doesn’t often dominate global headlines, a surprising turn of events has pushed Venezuela back into the international spotlight.

From automated traffic enforcement to predictive criminal analytics, these systems promise efficiency—but at what cost to civil liberties, transparency, and the rule of law?

When technological determinism intersects with realpolitik, Cold War-era modalities of power projection are replaced by a new foundation of dominance – one built on emerging technologies and digital ecosystems. Over the years, BRICS countries have come to terms with the fact that control over critical technologies is crucial for securing as well as asserting power on the international stage.

The leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan will sign today a peace agreement at the White House in Washington. This agreement reflects a notable geopolitical shift in the South Caucasus. With Russia’s diminished influence in the region following the wars in Nagorno-Karabakh and Ukraine, Turkey is well placed to expand its influence in the Caucasus.

Pierre Bourdieu, Devlet Üzerine (Sur l'État) adlı eserinde, devlet söz konusu olduğunda bizi ön kabullere ve ortak kanılara karşı her zamankinden daha dikkatli olmaya çağırır. Ona göre, “öznesi devlet olan bütün cümleler teolojik cümlelerdir” çünkü temelinde “varlığına müştereken duyulan bir inanç bulunmaktadır.”

Turkish President Erdoğan announced this week that Turkey would terminate its pipeline agreement with Iraq, effective in one year. The move followed a painful agreement between the Iraqi federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) over revenue-sharing. This would normally have led to the reopening of the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline, which was shut down following an arbitration ruling against Turkey in March 2023.
