In this presentation, Dr. Grossman examines Turkiye’s political strategy in the Black Sea region, including but not restricted to its response to the effects of the Russo-Ukrainian War. Turkiye has attempted and continues to try to balance competing interests in the area and, in so doing, achieve its own foreign policy aims. This approach has often been misunderstood by outsiders, particularly in the West. In our discussion, we will attempt to better understand the Turkish point of view and gain some insight into the future of the region after the conclusion of the present armed conflict.
Dr. Gary M. Grossman is the Founding Associate Director of Academic Programs and Associate Professor in the School for the Future of Innovation in Society at Arizona State University. He is also currently a Visiting Scientist with the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization. He offers more than three decades of experience in the management of political, social, and technological development projects around the world with a particular focus on Turkey and Eurasia and was a Fulbright research scholar at METU in Ankara. Dr. Grossman received his MS and PhD in Political Sociology from Purdue University and did his undergraduate work at Raymond College of the University of the Pacific. Some of you may remember Dr. Grossman from his presentation at our April 2023 symposium. |
