Perceptions is a biannual English language and peer-reviewed academic journal published by the Center for Strategic Research (SAM) which works under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Turkey.
With the goal of elaborating on regional cooperation in the Turkic world, this issue of Perceptions includes articles exploring the various dimensions of the OTS – also in accordance with Türkiye’s efforts to enhance Turkic cooperation during its chairmanship. At a time when the OTS is turning into a key actor in the Turkic world, we believe that the articles of this issue are going to be valuable contributions to the emerging academic literature on this important regional organization.
