This one-day mini-conference commemorates the Turkish Republic’s 100-year anniversary through a series of talks by experts in the politics and society of Turkey/T<span lang="TR">ürkiye</span>. Each presenter will take an important theme that relates to the
broader scope of the history of the Republic and, in various ways, discuss issues of change, continuity or cycles in this theme within the last 100 years. These themes will capture Turkey’s politics, state and society relations, the Kurdish issue, and Turkish
foreign policy, culminating in a final roundtable to discuss the direction the Republic is headed over the next 100 years.</p>
