Understanding both the established and evolving terminology of international relations and diplomacy has become an indispensable necessity. Although specialized dictionaries have been developed for many fields in Turkish, the absence of a comprehensive reference work in the strategically vital discipline of international relations—especially in the context of Türkiye’s future—has long remained a notable gap.
At a time when Türkiye is deepening its engagement with the international community — forging closer ties with regions such as Europe, the Arab world, and Asia — the accurate and consistent use of a shared diplomatic vocabulary has become increasingly vital. In response to this growing need, the Dictionary of International Relations and Diplomacy offers a multilingual reference — featuring English, French, and Turkish entries with clear, contextual explanations — that helps bridge this significant linguistic and conceptual gap.
Far more than a tool for students of international relations, this dictionary stands as a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the specialized language of diplomacy, global politics, and regional affairs. It equips readers with the terminology needed to navigate today’s complex international landscape with clarity and precision.
