President Erdoğan is a colorful figure on the international arena and his actions are multidirectional and multifaceted. Hence, the aim of the article is to analyze the tactics used by Erdoğan in foreign policy and to attempt a forecast for the years 2024–2040 regarding the position of Türkiye in the world. The following methods were used: deduction and prognostic. The period from 2020 to 2022 was analyzed, and the time perspective adopted for the forecast is the period between 2024–2040. The main conclusions of the considerations are as follows. Erdoğan’s phenomenon in foreign policy is that he has built a strong expansive dangerous assertive Türkiye with global diplomatic potential which, although it does not have absolute power, is powerful enough to limit the influence of countries and institutions stronger than itself (1). Erdoğan will have a chance to turn Türkiye into a global power, or at least a state with the strength of a global power, without which no significant decisions on a global scale will be possible (2).

February 24, 2022: Russian forces start the full-scale invasion of Ukraine under the orders of Russian President Putin. Since then, our world has been in turmoil; what seemed certain for years is not certain. After the end of the Second World War, the World Powers established international organizations to prevent that amount of suffering from happening again. Are international organizations useful for maintaining peace? This research essay is going to address the question based on available literature and internet news sources to draw some tangible conclusions and perhaps even to suggest some improvements on how international organizations will be able to stay relevant for global peace in the future. The War in Ukraine will serve as a case study in the essay’s second half. The reader will learn that international organizations have performed well in their functions, that Western nations did things wrong in handling the Ukrainian crisis, and that organizations like NATO got a new drive and purpose courtesy of the Russian aggression. Most importantly, the reader will learn that argumentations on the demise of the liberal world order are premature at best.
