The country\u2019s hedging against an uncertain future helps Turkey to extract commercial concessions, elevate the country\u2019s status, preserve strategic autonomy, and provide regime survival for President Erdo\u011fan in 2023 elections despite severe economic problems and domestic polarization in the country. The presentation will introduce Turkish elites\u2019 attempt of (re)positioning the country between US and Russia and possible implications of Turkey\u2019s contradictory and ambiguous hedging behaviours in shaping the emerging regional order as well as the behaviours of the competing great powers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Date: October 10th, Tuesday, 2023, 12:00 &#8211; 13:00 [in English] Location:\u00a0SNUAC Asia Square (3rd Floor), SNUAC (Bldg. 101) Speaker: Mehtap Kara (SNUAC) The ongoing power shift and challenges to the rules-based international order highlight the importance of the secondary states in various regions and their alignment strategies.
