7th Istanbul Security Conference (2021)

  • “Post-Security Geopolitics: China, Russia, India, Japan and NATO”
During this period, which is defined as a "post-security" era, not only strong economies such as the US, UK, dominant members of the EU, Russia and Japan, but also the situations or profiles of certain countries like China, India, Brazil, South Africa and Turkey, which are defined as "rising powers", should be under close follow-up with new ways and means.
