Over the
years, the addition of new member states, shifting global power centers, diminishing resources, andincreasing environmental crises have further challenged its ability to achieve this goal. The view that it can not fully function with it scurrent structure as a result of these factors has begun to gain weight in the World public opinion.

This article aims to test the hypothesis that “the struggle between these superpowers, as seen in the reshaped global order following the 2020 pandemic, will once again bring about a ‘bipolar world order’ similar to that of the Cold War.” In this context, the conceptual framework of the bipolar world order will be outlined, followed by an analysis of the national power elements of the two countries within the framework of realist theory. The international implications of their competition will then be analyzed in the conclusion. A quantitative research method will be employed to collect the necessary data, which will be analyzed using content analysis techniques. Finally, the accuracy of the tested hypothesis will be discussed and evaluated.

With this study, it is aimed to determine which of the existing forms of government achieves more success in solving the problems which have deepened with the effect of the pandemic and are getting more and more complex with each passing day as we experience as a result of global environmental problems, wars and the unfavorable international political economy. In this context, the 'new normal' has been defined by drawing the conceptual framework of politics and forms of government that have been implemented until today. Then, today's complex problems are analyzed in global security and economy, income distribution, social security, education, environment socio-cultural and other dimensions. In the following section, the selected government models were compared within the framework of the determined parameters, and the success of the problems in the solution was determined. In the conclusion, the contribution of government models to this success has been questioned, and some solution proposals have stated. It has been determined that the form of government alone is not sufficient in the success of solving today's complex problems, and other variables such as power ability, geopolitics, identity, religion and moral values are also effective. In addition, the importance of the power model in the country as well as the way of prioritizing the problems understood, while the importance of how international and domestic policies have been determined as the allocation of budget resources also has revealed.

Dünyada insanlığın kullandığı kıt kaynakların azalması ve güçlü ülkelerin bu kaynaklara egemen olma istekleri, ülkelerin mevcut durumu ile geleceklerini ister istemez etkilemektedir.Gelişmekte ve geri kalmış ülkeler ise bu karmaşık uluslararası ortamda ilerleme mücadelesi verirken, aynı zamanda halklarını en iyi şekilde yaşatabilmeye çalışmaktadırlar.

Türk Dış Politikası (TDP) tarih boyunca bulunduğu coğrafyanın zor koşulları ve jeostratejik konumu çerçevesinde şekillenmiş, Cumhuriyet'e kadar hükümdar ve çevresindeki yöneticilerin vizyon ve düşüncelerine göre oluşturulmuş, Cumhuriyetle birlikte daha kurumsal bir kimliğe bürünerek Dışişleri Bakanlığı tarafından şekillendirilmeye başlanmıştır. TDP'nın tarihsel süreci çok geniş ve kapsamlı bir inceleme alanı olduğundan, bu çalışmada Cumhuriyet'ten sonraki dönemdeki temel ilkeleri incelenecek, sonrasında yaklaşık beş yüzyılı aşkın süredir ikili ilişkiler yürüttüğümüz Rusya'nın günümüz "mirasçısı ve temsilcisi" Rusya Federasyonu (RF) ile ilişkilerin mevcut durumu analiz edilecektir. Bu kapsamda, dış politikanın kavramsal çerçevesi çizilerek günümüzde RF ile yürütülen ikili ilişkilerdeki işbirliği alanları ortaya konacak ve uyuşmazlık konuları tartışılacaktır. Sonuçta, RF ile olan ikili ilişkilerin Türkiye açısından bir değerlendirmesi yapılarak, bölgesel ve küresel etkileri değerlendirilecektir.
Since Ibn Khaldun revealed that "geography determined the destiny of people" centuries ago, the geographical position of the countries has been the most important constant in the formation of foreign policy. Turkish Foreign Policy (TFP) has been formed in this framework of the hard geographic position and geostrategic location throughout history, and also according to the vision and ideas of Sovereigns and their Ministers until the Republic. Because the TFP's historical process is an extensive study area, in this paper, the basic principles of the Republic time will be examined firstly, and then the current situation of relations with Russian Federation (RF) will be analyzed. In this context, the conceptual framework of foreign policy will be drawn and the areas of cooperation in bilateral relations with RF will be put forward and the problem areas will be discussed. After all, Turkey made an assessment in terms of the bilateral relations with the RF, regional and global impacts will be assessed.

14. yüzyıl düşünürlerinden İbn Haldun’un yüzyıllar önce ortaya koyduğu “coğrafyanın insanların kaderini belirlediği” mealindeki bilindik söylemine benzer şekilde, Türkiye ve komşusu Rusya Federasyonu arasındaki ilişkilerin öncelikle barış içinde sürdürülmesi daha sonra da geliştirilmesi zorunlu gözükmektedir. Son dönemde bölgemizde yaşanan çok önemli gelişmelerin odağını da teşkil eden bu konu tüm boyutlarıyla incelenmeye muhtaçtır. “Soğuk Savaş Sonrası Türk Dış Politikasının Ekonomi Politiği: Türkiye Cumhuriyeti-Rusya Federasyonu İlişkileri Örneği” adlı doktora tezimden istifadeyle hazırlanan bu kitapla tarihsel çerçeveyi de çizmek suretiyle, soğuk savaş sonrasındaki Türk dış politikasının RF ile olan ilişkiler bağlamında ekonomi politik bir perspektifle incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
