Salih Yılmaz In this book, 47 analyzes published in Russian on TRT Russian channel in 2018 were brought together and presented in Turkish. In these analyzes, economic and military developments, especially the political events that developed between Turkey and Russia throughout 2018, were interpreted. In this sense, ideas and opinions that will guide the relations between the two countries have been discussed.
This work is a continuation of the book that previously dealt with the developing relations between Russia and Turkey between the years 2016-2017. In this work, the events that developed between the two countries in 2018 were written in Turkish and Russian in the form of analyzes. In order to understand these works, “Is a Turkey-Russia Eurasian Pact Possible?” We recommend that you also read our work.
The military-technological cooperation between Russia and Turkey, apart from the developing economy in Syria, marks a new era for NATO member Turkey as well as for other members. We should say that Turkey, which could not get enough support from its NATO allies in this state, is making efforts to ensure stability in its region, especially its own security, in cooperation with Russia. As long as the harsh policies of the USA against Turkey continue, this cooperation seems to develop further. Considering NATO's concerns regarding this cooperation, it may be possible to establish a new security-based bloc in Eurasia in the future. This process is under the initiative of NATO-USA on the one hand and Turkey on the other.
Turkey's purchase of the S400 air defense system indicates a significant change and opposition not only for Turkey but also for the whole world, which has become dependent on the USA. We hope that such works will be useful in order for these two states and societies to better understand each other.
Abdürreşit Celil Karluk According to Fei Xiaotong, Chineseness is actually like a snowball. It is the process of social and cultural assimilation of non-Chinese foreigners within its political borders, which grows by clinging to the foreigners around it, with Huaxia at its core. The Chinese, who keep the Chineseness alive, have always kept themselves separate and superior to the others.
China, sociologically, can be generally divided into cultural China and political China. Cultural China is a homogeneous reality in which all the elements that make up Chineseness are completely dominated, and there is essentially no difference. Political China, on the other hand, is the regions inhabited by non-Chinese peoples who are later included in China's hegemony, who are dependent or indirectly governed by China. In Chinese history, cultural China always wants to swallow political China, and for this, it develops a strategy and implements it persistently. When political China becomes cultural China, a political China is reconstructed. Political China was often built by foreigners who dominated China.
This study deals with Chineseness and the strategies applied in the process of governing with the others in the order in which Chinese is dominant, and the social and cultural integration processes of non-Chinese peoples in Chineseness from a sociological perspective. Related topics covered; It will help to understand the inhumane practices of the CCP power in East Turkestan, Tibet and Hong Kong, as well as the Chineseization of religions, the prohibition of foreign resources in educational institutions, and Chinese-specific situations such as debt diplomacy and credit trapping.
