SCFR Online – Opinion: Foreign policy analysis is valid when it evaluates decisions based on the information and circumstances prevailing at the time they were made, not on the basis of outcomes that only become apparent after the crisis has ended.
Strategic Council Online – Interview: An international affairs analyst stated that the United States’ imposition of 50% tariffs on Indian export goods has not only severely impacted the economic relations between the two countries but has also opened a new path in New Delhi’s foreign policy. While Washington has justified this move as “punishing” India for purchasing oil from Russia, the Narendra Modi government has called it unfair and emphasized the necessity of ensuring its country’s energy security. However, India’s reaction has not been limited to mere verbal statements; Modi’s visit to China and participation in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit can practically be assessed as a strategic pivot towards the East. Simultaneously, diplomatic exchanges among the three Asian powers have accelerated: China’s Foreign Minister visited New Delhi, his Indian counterpart went to Moscow, and Modi, in his meeting with Beijing’s leaders, sent a clear message of India’s desire for closer cooperation with Russia and China. In this context, the Indian Prime Minister’s lack of response to several phone calls from Trump suggests that New Delhi is redefining its foreign policy priorities in response to Washington’s pressure. Many analysts believe that India’s recent actions are not merely short-term reactions but rather a sign of a new balance of power forming in Asia’s equations.
Strategic Council Online– Opinion: From the past to the present, there has been a close relationship between technology and international relations. From the introduction of the steam engine to the emergence of the telephone and radio, significant milestones were achieved that enabled faster and more direct communication, reducing the need for intermediaries and diplomatic bureaucracy. The development and deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) systems also have the potential to transform various aspects of human life, much like climate change did decades ago in the international system. The reason AI impacts the international system, particularly in diplomacy, is that politics and political issues are among the most complex human behaviors, and this complexity reaches its peak in the international arena.
Strategic Council Online: Secretary of the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations said: It is necessary to be accurate about the category of artificial intelligence in the service of diplomacy and diplomacy at the service of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is one of the needs of all diplomats today; because, compared to the past, the number of players in the international arena has greatly increased.
Strategic Council Online: A researcher in the field of digital governance emphasized that under conditions where the eruption of plurality does not create any single narrative due to the dominance of artificial intelligence, the discussion of justice and the abandonment of a single discourse in the world causes Francis Fukuyama’s theory of the end of history to be questioned and assume its global distribution to be basically invalid. In this situation, we will never again be able to analyze the international political economy as before.
