About Independent Turkey
Independent Turkey focuses on contemporary political, social and cultural issues facing Turkey and its surrounding region.
Independent Turkey Description
Centre for Policy and Research on Turkey (Research Turkey) is an independent, non-partisan, non-governmental organisation devoted to policy analysis and research focusing primarily on contemporary Turkey. It aims at sharing a wide range of publication types including reviews, interventions, political, economic and social analyses, working papers, interviews and commentaries, by following interdisciplinary trends in the global world and examining Turkey and the global world from different points of view. Against the tendency to homogenise perspectives in the media and to reduce complex political and social reality to simplistic analysis, it welcomes theoretical and political pluralism to reach a more comprehensive, multi-sided understanding of contemporary Turkey in its global context.
In continuation with the themes, outlook and scope of Research Turkey we are launching a new organization devoted to news-based and journalistic coverage; Independent Turkey. Independent Turkey will focus on contemporary political, social and cultural issues facing Turkey and its surrounding region, providing up-to-date political analysis, news and commentaries from a journalistic rather than academic standpoint. The core aim of Independent Turkey is to provide more accessible news on issues related to Turkey and its region that appeals not only to the academic community, but to the general public.
