My research interests include European Studies and foreign policy analysis, with a particular focus on European foreign policy towards the Middle East and North Africa region, Turkish foreign policy, international politics in the Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean regions, and the Cyprus issue. I am also interested in studying global politics and the global order, as well as international relations education in Turkey. My research is broadly defined and encompasses comparative foreign policy analysis.
