Dear Readers,
We are here with the 16th issue of the Eurasian World journal. This issue also coincides with the spring season. The sense of renewal that is unique to spring has a nature that raises hope for peace in the world for the
international relations community. Possible changes in the actors that shape world politics could positively affect the atmosphere of peace and stability as well.
Unfortunately, as we approach the middle of April 2025, we are not in an environment that meets these wishes and desires. The attack that Russia launched against Ukraine 3 years ago continues with all its intensity. Developments in the Middle East, especially in Gaza, continue to cause concern, although it is outside our field of interest. While the foreign policy steps of the new actor of the world political scene, US President
Trump, are causing tremores within the Western Alliance, his moves in the international economy are creating anxiety and uncertainty all over the world. In addition to military conflicts, the possibility of trade and economic wars are also starting to enter our agenda.
As the Eurasian World, you, our valued readers, are the closest witnesses to the fact that we always try to approach what is happening around us from an impartial and constructive perspective. We have always preferred to be optimistic. Based on these approaches, we present you a series of articles that we hope will attract your attention and interest in this issue of our journal.
With greetings.
