Foreign policies may seem as an unrelated subject for most people at the first glance. Afterall, it seems as a subject matter that does not affect the individual lives. The developments that take place beyond our national borders whose possible consequences would only be felt in the long term, can usually not be at the top of the average citizen’s agenda. However, all the societal political and economic dynamics are affecting the course of the world and naturally our very own lives. What we call foreign policies, are actually a sum of all these parameters. Here, we begin our online journey as a digital media publishing in many forms for such subjects.
All the changes in the international economies, groundbreaking technological advancements, the progressive agriculture and industries, points toward the historical era of rapid change we are in. Many different economic development plans that are in a global competition, are among the top subject of debate in our modern day. Of course, it is not only the economic structures that are changing. We can see that the current international system bares fruits for greater changes, when we consider the rise of Asia against the Atlantic, the breaking off of Russia from the Western bloc, and all the massive changes that tear down the current equations in Latin America, Africa, Central Asia and the Middle East. The values of the societies are changing around the world as well. All the concepts that were previously considered as the steps to a societal development, are now being redefined in our day. The norms that connect the people to life and to their country, and those who keep the societies up, are being discussed today. Key concepts such as sovereignty, freedom, justice, security and prosperity are being redefined from scratch. Here, we are to focus our lenses on such subjects that are controversial on a global scale, and try to contribute to these discussions.
We are to cover new ideas that seek how Turkiye, which can act as a bridge between the East and the West, can apply its own economic model to this new process, or how can it achieve the maximum efficiency, in a solid and a scientific way. Turkiye is essentially a key country when it comes to geopolitics. The foreign policies of a country that is located between Europe, Middle East, Caucasia and West Asia, can change even the most delicate balances in the world. This will be the top subject we will focus on.
All these developments that gave birth to a whole new era, has also brought new crises and new controversies with it. All the questions that were sought for an answer, have constituted our key points in this. We will be looking for answers with original researches, exclusive reports and analyses from experts all around the world. The contents of hostilities and raw propaganda have been especially prominent in the media world on a global scale. We do not act on the efforts of meeting the expectations of third parties, or on publishing the words only the people want to hear. We will own a perspective that adopts an investigative way of producing new ideas as an independent and free platform, in search of truth.
It is quite a tough topic whether the change comes from outside or from within. However keeping up with the external changes, will always be necessary and prioritized to resolve the internal changes. And we will trace the changing world on this journey.
