For the past few years, the Turkish diplomacy has been extremely active in the region and has gained significant influence and respect. The Arab uprising has offered a unique opportunity for Turkey to strengthen its position in the region, but it has also brought about important challenges. This seminar will look into the "Turkish model" and whether it might be relevant for the region. The speakers will also discuss the expectations of the EU and the U.S. vis-à-vis the Turkish diplomacy in the Arab world, and question the future of cooperations in the region.

North Korea Beyond Nukes: Focusing on the Human Rights Challenge
Debates surrounding North Korea are primarily focused on security issues, particularly nuclear and ballistic concerns, relegating the critical situation of the North Korean population and human rights violations to the background. The lack of information about the real living conditions of North Koreans contributes to the absence of attention and discussion on this crucial issue.
