Trapped in the Ashes: Lebanon’s Endless Return to Identity Politics
This is not a new phenomenon. Indeed, the myth of a “new era” persists in Lebanon’s political vocabulary. It is recycled every few years by the same elites who have no intention of changing the system that keeps them in power and keeps the people’s sense of identity divided. This language of rebirth has come to feel like denial. It is impossible to inaugurate a new era when the same oppressive political structures are completely intact.

The increase in the use of AI raises a major question: how to regulate the use of these technologies?José Ignacio Hernández states that cooperation between States is necessary.

Beyond Adolescence: The Dangerous Impact of Misogyny on International Relations
The release of Adolescence raised alarms about discrimination as a growing cultural concern. This is not just classroom antics. Children are being exposed to dangerous online propaganda that shape their understanding of gender roles and acceptable behaviour from an early age.

Unpacking Colonial Legacies: Female Genital Mutilation
When it comes to the refugee crisis - a consequence of global instabilities - and the rise in Islamophobia, especially since 9/11, Female Genital Mutilation has re-emerged as a symbol of "cultural savagery" and a violation of women's rights. With the rise of right-wing populism and public concern over extremism from Islamic states, FGM has become central to debates on migration, forced displacement, multiculturalism, and social cohesion.

Words As The First Step Backward
Language is not simply a vehicle for communication; it's a powerful tool for social construction. The words we use to name others, especially those who are different, vulnerable, or historically oppressed, can dignify or dehumanize them.

Furthermore, its geographical position, which facilitates migration routes from south to north and east to west, necessitates Türkiye's active involvement with both its immediate neighbors and more distant partners.
