About

My research is a comparative analysis of Turkey and Iran regarding their foreign policy between the two and its reflection on the Middle East in order to lay down the zone of conflict and cooperation in the post 1980.

The research will be based on the role of imperial legacy and cultural identity in a way that labels global space, construct images of world politics and provide framework within which certain events and policies gains meaning, and shape the cognitive map of policymakers that eventually feed into the geopolitical thinking of Turkey and Iran.

Rather than employing traditional geopolitics, I will deploy a critical geopolitical discourse in a way that enables us to see how both states know, categorize and make sense of world politics which is primarily derived by interpretative cultural practice.
