Reviving Turkey’s role in Yemen; Its advantages and risks

PEJOURNAL - Turkey's neo-Ottoman foreign policy in West Asia in recent years has made the country one of the most important and interfering players in regional changes. Although in these interventions, the pragmatism of this country has been preferred to the ideological dimension of foreign policy as in the past, but behind such an approach, supporting the currents close to the Muslim Brotherhood and the alliance with Qatar in the region has been very important. And for this reason, the type of convergences and divergences of this country in West Asia is largely influenced by Brotherhood tendencies. The kind of…

What does Joe Biden’s presidency mean for America’s role in the world?

BY: Atlantic Council PEJOURNAL - We finally have a winner. After several days of counting votes, former Vice President Joe Biden has defeated President Donald J. Trump in the US presidential election, after the Associated Press called Pennsylvania for the former vice president on November 7.  While Biden may have to contend with a divided Congress to achieve his many domestic priorities, he will have much more power to shape US foreign policy going forward. “Under a Biden presidency, the United States will shift from a ‘with or without us’ approach to a policy that fundamentally believes the United States can achieve more when we work together with partner nations,” Jason Marczak, director of…

Turkey-NATO Alliance Under Threat

PEJOURNAL - The Turkish lira has hit a record low against the dollar amid investor anxiety about the Turkish economy, hit by coronavirus and friction with NATO allies. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has riled France and the US among others. Analysts attribute the weakening to concern about Turkish inflation and the central bank's refusal to raise its key interest rate. A rate rise could dampen inflation and encourage investors to buy lira. It was the beheading of a school teacher in Paris that sparked the latest war of words. Samuel Paty was murdered by a Chechen extremist, having shown a…

Modeling in Iran’s regional strategy

PEJOURNAL - In this article, the modeling strategy in Iran's regional policy in West Asia is examined and the successes and limitations in this field are evaluated. The victory of the revolution set a precedent for the Islamic countries of West Asia to take steps to achieve their goals.

Therefore, the modeling of some West Asian countries from Iran has continued with intensity and…

What is the main concern of world order’s architects in the aftermath of the U.S. election?

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - The U.S. has suffered irreparable damage with the Corona crisis and its unscientific and hasty actions so world order's architects have main concern about aftermath of the U.S. election. Demonstrations against racism, the gender of which lacks political and trade union transparency and shows more of a deep social divide, will intensify in the future, and again, under the pressure of white apartheid in the United States, to bring more violence and unbridled violence with this logic again.

From Hegemony To Hedgemony

A Game of Strategic Choices” is a practical tool that RAND researchers have created to teach US specialists in defence and related areas.
