A REVIEW OF TURKISH UNION WITH A GLOBAL, ECONOMIC, AND POLITICAL PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

In our world when 300 million Turks live, the necessity of establishing a Turkish Union (TU) like the European Union and collecting the economic and military forces of the Turkish States under a unity has become inevitable. The Turkish Union is necessary and can be established. On the other hand, globalization is one of the most important processes that has formed the world since the 1970s. For this reason, analyzing globalization is crucial to comprehend our world and its effect on the Turkish Union. Globalization is a sophisticated concept, which has economic, social, political, cultural, environmental, and technological dimensions. In this research, we tried to investigate how the comprehension of globalization would provide us better understanding of today's world as Turkey and other Turkish States are currently in a critical transition period and we tried to present that while seven independent Turkish states are trying to be dragged to many directions by external and internal forces and the establishment of the Turkish union is the only solution.
