This blog series is a collection of authored thought pieces that I have written to explore how Türkiye is positioning itself as a key player in international affairs.

Each entry is inspired by speeches, articles, and reflections from Turkish leaders in areas such as finance, trade, science and technology, climate policy, and energy strategy. Rather than simply summarizing, I engage with these sources critically and add my own reflections as a student of international relations.

By weaving together leader insights with my own analysis, I hope to highlight how Türkiye’s policies and partnerships are not only shaping its own future, but also contributing to regional stability and global cooperation. This series is both a learning journey and a way to share my perspective on the interconnectedness of economics, diplomacy, and culture in today’s world. My goal is to spark interest and conversation, while also giving readers a glimpse of how one student sees Türkiye’s place in international relations.
