Türkiye Observatory

Putting forward high quality information on the shifts and changes taking place in contemporary Türkiye
Türkiye Observatory's main objective is to sustain a regular flux of information provided by esteemed experts. This allows us to account for the rapid transformations that affect today's Turkish society, economy and political world.
This information can be accessed on Ifri's website where we regularly post "notes d'analyses"- short papers (5-6 pages long) tackling topical issues. These notes are produced by Turkish researchers and analysts, and by experts on Türkiye and its immediate regional environment. Every note is commented on by another expert in the form of a short interview, in order to provide a counter-perspective to the points made in the note. This allows the expression of different, competing points of view and thus launches a debate on the important issues Türkiye is facing.
Although it priviledges a policy oriented and contemporary analysis, the Observatory whithin the Contemporary Türkiye Program also tackles the historical and sociological dimension of things, in order to better understand present developments in Türkiye. The program will tackle both substantive and conjunctural issues.
