The topic of the issue is «Russia and Turkey: the European non-West».
Is there indeed such a phenomenon as the ‘European non-West’? May we consider Russia and Turkey as part of the European non-West? Do Russian and Turkish elites face the problem of a “dual identity”? These and other questions are answered by: Robert Cooper, Director General at the General Secretariat of the Council of the EU; Ivan Krastev, Chairman of the Centre for Liberal Strategies in Sofia, Bulgaria, Editor-in-Chief of the Bulgarian Edition of Foreign Policy; Dmitry Galkovsky, a renowned philosopher and publicist; John Laughland, Director of Studies at the Institute of Democracy and Cooperation in Paris; Ahmet Evin, the founding dean of Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Sabanci University in Istanbul; Shamil Sultanov, the President for the Strategic Studies Centre: Russia – Muslim World; Soli Ozel, Professor at the Istanbul Bilgi University; Olga Malinova, President Emeritus of the Russian Political Science Association, etc.
