This series aims to combine several international relations theories with topical and current world events. Questions are raised about democracy, privacy, terrorism, conflicts, feminism, foreign policy and more. For the first two lectures, Erkli will join Erdogan. They will hold an engaging and lively debate with one another and with the audience. While one side explains an argument, the other questions it with provocative and grounded criticisms and arguments. This series involves lots of interaction between the speakers and participants.
