Summary/Abstract: Today, the growing impact of climate change, armed conflicts, social polarization, and economic instability threatens the foundations of the global order. These challenges escalate rapidly, fuelled by technological advancements and economic uncertainties that we face on a global scale. Disinformation and misinformation stand out as critical global threats. The pressing issues of cybersecurity, geopolitical tensions, unequal opportunities, inflation, forced migration, economic downturns, and environmental degradation present urgent risks that demand immediate attention. The imbalances and inequalities in wealth and resource distribution at all levels breed instability locally, regionally, and globally, further amplifying the fragility and volatility of our global system. Beyond the immediate crises, our book delves into the potential repercussions of artificial intelligence and its implications for the geopolitical supply chain in Türkiye. It meticulously unveils how climate change and geopolitical dynamics could severely impact Türkiye’s security framework, economic landscape, and business sector. In this context, Türkiye must boldly declare its commitment to fostering collaboration among nations, businesses, and civil society to effectively address these global challenges. Türkiye’s pivotal role in this collective endeavour cannot be overstated, and the country should continue to lead initiatives aimed at collaboration and problem-solving. This book offers valuable insights from scholars, experts, and industry leaders, with the goal of elevating awareness and effectively managing emerging risks at every level. Together, we can navigate these turbulent times and create a more resilient global order.

- Summary/Abstract:War and Revolution disrupt the fabric of time as people attempt to recall the ordinary rules of civilization and rituals of respect and hospitality. Some even disregard them in some cases as the world moves to ever greater polarization through populism. Governments pursue territorial expansion through military threats of using force in the case of China-Taiwan relations, the outright crime of aggression by violating the territorial integrity of another sovereign country referring to the Russian-Ukrainian War, or using nonstate actors in a proxy war against a state actor like the Hezbollah fighting Israel on behalf of Iran as the world faces a Global Environmental Crisis in the 21st Century. The fundamental principles of humanity and the conventions of international law are subject to endless conceptual argumentative revisions, which assume different outcomes within various historical environments and with different temporal expectations that have unsettled nations through debatable rationales, justifications, and strategies, but also because they make and unmake cultures and countries. How does the official language of diplomatic overtures of condolences vibrate following Iranian President Ebrahim Raisis’s death in a helicopter accident, knowing that he was the ‘Butcher of Tehran’ for his role on the Tehran “death commission” during the 1988 executions of thousands of Iranian political prisoners? These linguistic attributes and criticism lie within the paradigmatic contradictions of ontological narratives about just and unjust wars that perpetuate the conflicts of the 21st Century with an ever more substantial return to the Great Power Rivalry of the 19th-century empires. Will the U.S. revert to isolationism and 150 years of neutrality before the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 or remain ‘benign’ during the Unipolar Era or a predatory power or even a leader in the defense of multipolarity as a guiding principle of future U.S. foreign policy? Russia, China, and the USA may aspire to an international system based on sovereignty, multipolarity, multilateralism, mutual security, international law, the re-balancing and re-invigoration of global and regional institutions. Immanent in this trilogy is the vision of the future. That this contest is underway is undeniable, even if some American officials tried to deny it not so long ago. The US-led international system is threatened by authoritarian powers seeking to redraw the world geopolitical map and make the 21st Century an Age of Autocracy. “The central challenge to prosperity and security,” the 2018 national defense strategy states, “is the reemergence of long-term, strategic competition by… Revisionist powers”

- Summary/Abstract:Although there might be setbacks and regressions in recent years , the general view and history show us clearly that with the creation of the United Nations (UN) and the emergence and development of international laws, the world has become much more stabilized and safer. It should not be a coincidence that since 1945, no World War was fought despite a long Cold War between the United States and USSR until 1991, and many regional and national wars took place in different geographies. In that sense, it would not be wrong to claim that the UN achieved progress and increased the degree of peace and stability on Earth. However, in recent years, the weakening of the UN, primarily because of its inability to find solutions to wars and other political crises, as well as the signs of collapse of the rules-based international order, gives us alarming signals for the future of the peace in the coming years and decades in case the system could not be recovered.

- Summary/Abstract:The above phrase is an anonymous proverb emphasising the significance of predicting or forecasting the future. Every entity in the world begs to have an idea of the future, such as wage war, investing, opening a business, selecting a profession, etc. Indeed, the vagueness of the future was an issue that military strategists mainly had dealt with in the theatre. Carl von Clausewitz calls the “fog of war”, which is the difficulty of mitigating uncertainty due to the general (un)reliability of information, which he phrased as “intermixed with chance, numerous imponderables, the limitations of accurate observation and the vast number of variables involved.” On the other hand, a commander needs to frame the operational environment, that is, to depict the reality of the current environment and all the intricate details that influence that environment. Similarly, businesses need to conduct a risk analysis, referring “to the assessment process that identifies the potential for any adverse events that may negatively affect organisations and the environment”, before deciding to launch a new project or approve a financial application. Another approach is trend analysis, which “involves a systematic approach to examining historical data to identify patterns, tendencies, or changes over time.” Futures studies is also an emerging methodology, which could be interpreted as “the systematic study of possible, probable and preferable futures.” It assists politicians and societies in managing uncertainties and increasing their resilience and innovation. Futures studies mainly help humankind solve pressing global challenges.

Türkiye has continued to develop its relations with the organization with a status that cooperates with the SCO on many issues. In this framework, the SCO membership debates, which have been on the agenda in certain periods in Türkiye and presented as an alternative to the EU, will be the subject of the study. For this reason, the discourses of political parties in Türkiye towards the SCO will be presented in the study.

- Summary/Abstract:States have advantages and disadvantages with their locations and characteristics. The geopolitical characteristics of the region in which Turkey is located and its location among important transit routes offer advantages and disadvantages. With the impact of the bipolar world order after the Cold War, Turkey, located at the center of the Balkans, Caucasus and Middle East triangle, is directly or indirectly affected by threats, risks and developments arising from these regions. Its geostrategic location requires Turkey to use national power elements more effectively and carefully in order to achieve its national goals while protecting its national interests.

- Summary/Abstract:The concept of security has been used since the past periods to define the one-to-one security of people. This concept has prepared the ground for the formation of the concept of military service, especially with the established states, and has become very important. The concepts of military service and security, which became even more important with the establishment of regular armies, have become very important and dangerous, especially with the First World War and the Second World War. The destruction caused by the First World War and the military technologies developed in the Second World War, especially the atomic bomb, as well as the concepts of security and military service, have emerged as areas that need to be paid considerable attention and importance. The security areas that states are trying to create with security concerns have further increased military risks, prepared the ground for the formation of new battlefields and the emergence of new military measures. This situation has been a point that every state, especially Turkey, has been leaning on with importance and caution.

At this point, what is a nuclear weapon? How can it pose a global threat to the whole world? There is a need to answer these questions. Only then, in a world where nuclear weapons pose a threat to the whole world, Türkiye’s attitude towards the threat of these weapons and the policies it has adopted in the process can be evaluated with their whys and wherefores.

- Summary/Abstract:In the modern era, security issues have become the primary concern for all states. The increase in terrorism can be identified as the main reason why security has become such a pressing problem. Terrorism has complicated theoretical concepts and a deep historical background. It can be far more complex to define terrorism than it initially appears. One of the hardest things to deal with while addressing terrorism is the cliche: a terrorist to one guy is a freedom warrior to another. Before delving into the problem of defining terrorism, it is essential to acknowledge that every writer who has tackled this topic acknowledges the immense challenge involved. Additionally, some experts strive to avoid problems by keeping their definitions as brief as possible. Most terrorist organizations have different motivations for their activities. Many terrorists do not consider themselves as such. Even some governments define groups declared as terrorists by other states differently, looking at them from an alternative perspective. This article examines terrorism, its historical background, the identification of terrorists, and how Türkiye is affected by terrorism. Additionally, it explores the effects of terrorism on other states through Türkiye.

- Summary/Abstract:Counterintelligence includes protecting state secrets, counter-espionage and countering covert / clandestine / subversive activities. In this respect, it can be said that a conceptualization that covers all functions of counterintelligence will pave the way for the development of descriptive theories. In its assessment of counterintelligence, the CIA emphasizes three conceptual foundations: information, action and organization. In order to develop a theory of counterintelligence, it is necessary to develop concept sets based on knowledge and action and to conceptualize in this context. Loch Johnson divides counterintelligence into security and counterespionage, classifying security as defensive and counterespionage as offensive. This classification focuses on the action dimension of counterintelligence and ignores the information that emerges as a result of counterintelligence activities.

- Keywords:Potential global risks; Türkiye; becoming; regional energy hub;
- Summary/Abstract:Türkiye’s geographical location has positioned it as an important player in the global energy environment. Türkiye has become an important transit route for fossil fuels, especially natural gas, between the energy-rich Middle East and the Caucasus and energy-consuming Europe. In the last decade, Türkiye aimed to transform itself into a regional energy hub where energy resources are transferred in transit and traded by international sellers and buyers. Under the current conditions, Türkiye is seen as the most promising transit country candidate in energy chess. While it will enable it to meet its energy demand more easily, it will also carry one-fifth of the EU’s energy demand in the medium and long term and will also contribute to the socialization process of the Caspian and Middle Eastern regions by integrating them into the global energy transportation network. Türkiye’s pragmatic energy policy, on which the impact of daily political tensions and regional changes is limited, is an important indicator of its determination to become an energy transition and distribution center. This goal was first brought to the agenda right after the Cold War, based on the rich energy resources of the Central Asian and Caucasian countries with which Türkiye has strong cultural ties, but the fact is that Türkiye’s performance in the region was well below expectations in the first half of the 90s. However, due to geopolitical ruptures and tensions in international relations, it is not surprising that “Türkiye has become a vital transit corridor for energy resources” especially natural gas, as a critical supplier in meeting Europe’s basic energy needs, especially in the last decade.”

- Summary/Abstract:The term “global risk” refers to the probability of an event or circumstance occurring that would have a large negative impact on global GDP, population, or natural resources. For over two decades, the Global Risks Perception Survey (GRPS) has served as the foundation for the Global Risks Report, and it is the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) primary source of original global risk data. This year’s GRPS has brought together outstanding thoughts on the shifting global risks environment from 1,490 professionals from academia, industry, government, the international community and civil society. Responses for the GRPS 2023-2024 were gathered between September 4 and October 9, 2023. The experts’ research analyzes global risks to help decision-makers balance current issues with long-term goals.

- Summary/Abstract:Breakthrough technologies transform classical international relations among state actors, making them the metacentre of globalization. This situation compels states to reconfigure their geopolitical strategies, re-establish alliances, and reconsider methods of hegemonic competition. States strive to acquire breakthrough technologies to gain a competitive advantage and thereby achieve geopolitical superiority, rendering the international security environment significantly more sensitive . Since disruptions in global supply chains of critical technologies, such as semiconductors, intensify geopolitical struggles, policies related to the production processes of high technologies shift the focal points of global conflict and challenge the stability of the multipolar order. Therefore, states are inciting an arms race on the international stage by orchestrating impediments at pivotal junctures in the supply chain, with the aim of controlling their rivals’ access to advanced chip technologies.

- Summary/Abstract:In a world increasingly shaped by vast communication networks and platforms, the critical role of communication in public health has, at times, not received the attention it deserves. Yet, as societies grapple with complex health challenges, the necessity for effective communication has never been more paramount. Moreover, today the intersection between Artificial Intelligence (AI) and public health is becoming increasingly evident, presenting both challenges and opportunities, especially in the context of vaccine communication and public trust. With the advancement of AI technologies, vaccine hesitancy and its effects on public perception have important implications for public health initiatives. Particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, these technological advances and changing public perceptions, combined with the increase in existing misinformation, have exponentially increased the challenges to public health. While the full extent of the spread of online misinformation about COVID-19 remains unclear, it remains an important issue that requires careful monitoring.

- Keywords:Turkish; cyber insecurity; cybersecurity;
- Summary/Abstract:Cyber insecurity is relatively a new term in cyber studies. Cybersecurity is a term that gained a popular usage in the 1990s with the proliferation of the use of the internet and computer systems. Cyber insecurity is more of a term introduced in the beginning of the new millennium with a rise of global cyber threats and cyber-attacks. The cyber-attack on Estonia in 2007 following the ‘Bronze Soldier’ protests in Tallinn is considered as a milestone in terms of both cybersecurity and cyber insecurity drawing attention to the importance of providing national cybersecurity and to the threats and assaults made by using different means in an ‘anarchic’ environment of cyberspace. Akyeşilmen alleges that one of the fundamental aspects of cyberspace is its ‘anarchic’ nature, characterized by decentralization and polycentricism, which extends beyond the traditional understanding in physical international relations. This anarchic nature brings along with numerous risks for the states. These risks have been on the rise owing to recent technological developments, which reflected on the international reports as the concerns of the states. The World Economic Forum (WEF) introduced ‘cyber insecurity’ as one of the severe global risks in its 2023 and 2024 reports.

Due to this feature, it became the capital of the empires that played a major role in the domination of the Old World and a crossroads where tribes met. Nevertheless, thanks to this award, it has become a center of attraction for the great powers dominant in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.

- Summary/Abstract:The relations between Japan and Türkiye can be characterized as amicable, yet underdeveloped. The bilateral trade between the two countries has been dwindling and neither Japan nor Türkiye is the other’s main trading partner. Türkiye has been increasingly importing manufactured goods from China and Korea at the expense of Japan. Türkiye also suffers a trade account deficit with Japan as the main imports from Japan are high-value-added goods. On the security front, there has not been much cooperation except for a project to train Afghan police officers in cooperation with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in 2011 in the post-conflict reconstruction process of Afghanistan. Japan provided the funds to finance the project and dispatched instructors to Türkiye for police training. While Japan is revising its antimilitarist stance and minimalist security and defense postures, it continues to be anchored in the Western security and defense frameworks, Türkiye on the other hand is moving away from a Western-oriented foreign and security policy towards a Eurasianist direction developing closer ties with Russia and China. The diverging stances of the two countries may complicate future cooperation in the security and defense areas.

- Summary/Abstract:Globalization has become one of the most influential and controversial issues of the 21st century. It is observed that with globalization, the world economy, communication methods, and cultural and social structures are changing and transforming. Along with globalization, it is seen that many risks and negatives are increasing in our living spaces. These risks and negatives are especially evident in economic, social, political, and environmental areas. Every year at the World Economic Forum held in Davos, Switzerland, these risks are discussed, analysed and solutions are sought. The main theme of this study is to address the societal risks emerging with globalization and defined as global risks by the World Economic Forum (WEF). The concept of societal polarization, included in the list for the first time as a societal risk in the 2024 forum (in previous years, it was mentioned together with erosion of social cohesion) will be discussed in the study. Analysis of other societal risks is also extremely important. However, in this study, only societal polarization will be discussed. Other risks will be the subject of further studies. In the study, firstly, the concept of globalization will be briefly defined; then Ulrich Beck’s and Anthony Giddens’s concept of risk society will be examined, and finally, the societal risks mentioned in the World Economic Forum held in Davos, specifically the risk of societal polarization will be studied and analysed with its causes and possible solution policies to combat these risks will be briefly presented.

Therefore, by migrating, human beings leave the place where they live permanently or temporarily and enter another space and socio-cultural environment. In the new environment, they become both an agent of and subject to change.

- Summary/Abstract:Politics plays a significant role in society, and political communication is one of the cornerstones of this process. In democratic political systems, the opinion of the “public” is vital in determining the state administration and organizing politics. The primary objective of politics is to create public opinion. Therefore, the media has become an essential factor in politics today. Political actors use the media effectively to communicate their policies and views to the masses, gather support, and maintain power. However, the media’s influence on politics is not limited to the transmission of information; it also plays a significant role in perception management. The digitalization of communication structures and their rapid diffusion through technological development have led to the expansion of communication and media structures, increasing the capacity of information retention and quality. These factors have necessitated the digitalization of politics and the shaping of a new understanding of political communication. Media is an institution located at the very center of the social structure.
