Assist. Prof. Şevket AYAZ: The century we live in is a century in which the most intense changes are experienced and great developments occur in almost every field. There are great developments in such a short time that it has become measurable not in years, months, but in days, even hours. This phenomenon, which is called globalization, has deeply affected the economic, social, political and cultural layers of societies, as well as issues such as press, media and education. Of course, it also had a very serious impact on war and diplomacy. Diplomacy is the relations between states. In order to carry out these relations in a healthy way, very serious diplomacy is required. Today, diplomacy is not just an action or a movement carried out by members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but also non-governmental organizations, opinion leaders and think tanks should contribute to diplomacy.
Prof. Dr. Ragıp Kutay KARACA: I am one of those who think that the world has not evolved to multipolarity, but to polycentricity. When I saw this presentation by Barış Hodja, I did not feel that my opinion was supported. Because polarity is a requirement of a structure, war broke out whenever the world was not in a hegonomic structure, and when we look at the First and Second World Wars, we see that there are forces that do not impose their hegemony on the world. We are experiencing the same thing today, the only difference being that the systemic change that Barış Hoca put in this way evolves into polycentricity. In other words, while the hegemonic structure prevents one, two or more hegemons from forming poles, international companies create centers when new technologies are involved. Economic centers are emerging in the world. Military centers are emerging in the world, and political centers are emerging in the world. Perhaps the main reason why the Trump administration has revolted so much against the entire political, economic and military order established by the USA since 1945 is the emergence of great rivals from the system they established. Like the People's Republic of China. They say, "Okay, we built this system, but we created a competitor; this changing world, the limitlessness of this communication, the greed of international companies, we have faced competitors and these rivals are now threatening us, so we are somehow also out of this system. We will make a change. But we will make the change in our own space. We will do it according to our own wishes." I am one of those who think that the main reason for the difference between Trump's rhetoric and policies today, or the fact that the USA is seen on one side or the other, is worth mentioning from this presentation of Professor Barış.
Prof. Dr. Barış ÖZDAL: First of all, we cannot open or make sense of it by establishing a system similarity in the classical sense or with the new cold war analogies, which we observe both as a possibility and as a possibility. Because not reflecting the change and transformation of this system. The analyzes you make will perhaps be self-consistent, but incomplete. Well, what can we do then, this is the world map that you know has been taught to us since the Middle Ages. Now we need to analyze this world in different ways within the framework of these four fundamental parameters. We need to see the world this way, we need to look at it from different angles. Now our battlefields, our battlefields have changed. If we still look at the world in the classical sense from the Mediterranean, you will miss the power struggle in the sea or the Far East center, the center of China, you need to see the world in this way. Only with such a world analysis can we analyze war and diplomacy differently.
With global warming, the structure of the world is changing. A temperature rise of +2 degrees now floods eighteen percent of the land in the known world. If our geography changes, everything changes. He sees the world as a cat's playground. Your perception changes war and diplomacy, but a certain amount is that if we still look at the world through the lens of systems, the inferences we make will be incomplete and out of date, even if they are correct in themselves.
Dr. Savaş DİNÇER: "It is necessary to be strong to achieve peace"; he already says on the first page that this is a realistic text, a security-based and realistic approach. When we accept to try to implement such a global power, such an unchanging international relations security policy anywhere in the world, are we able to look for a change in the face of the war, the method will change. The methods of killing people differ. Countries, states have started to use proxy wars instead of fighting with another country directly, they have started to do this work through others. They have started to fight a country with new methods, which we call hybrid warfare, with more than one method. Currently USA, Turkey, Russian Federation, China; each has turned to this, is in a hybrid war. Battle at the front at once
