Amerika'nın da bu sürece dahil olmasıyla birlikte zamanla birlik bütün kıtaya hakim pozisyona erişmiştir. Örgütün en faal zamanları olarak soğuk savaş dönemini gösterebiliriz. Komunist tehdit dolayısıyla, örgütün kullanıldığının örneği olarak Küba'nın üyeliğinin askıya alınmasını gösterebiliriz. Ancak günümüzde örgüt için önemli bir olay yaşanmaktadır. Tarihte ilk defa bir devlet , Venezuela, Amerikan Devletleri Örgütünden çıkmak için başvurdu. Venezuela ülkesinde yaşanan siyasi ve ekonomik krizlerle boğuşmakta ve Amerikan Devletleri Örgütünü de ülkesindeki sosyalizmi bitirmeye yönelik kampanyaları desteklemekten dolayı suçlamaktadır.

This is a hard topic to explain since there is no other same kind of organization in the world. Therefore, I believe that the theories or the notions of International Relations can't be implemented as same we do on states. One of the other most discussed subjects about the EU is what kind of power the EU possesses. Again, in order to answer these questions, it is important to understand that the EU is sui generis and it needs to be treated in that way. This research includes the discussion of power of the EU and the EU's characteristics, major events that pushed the EU for further integration, the EU and strategic autonomy types that explains the EU's current situation, obstacles and boosters of the strategic autonomy of the EU and conclusion answering the headline of this research theme respectively. The European Union was established after the WWII which the world was experiencing bipolar power struggle between the USSR and the US. At such time, the US wanted European states to cooperate each other under the umbrella of NATO. Even though security and defence is a high topic for the integration, that is actually quite important point which explains why integration wasn't necessary in defence and security.
Comparison of 1815-1914 vs 1918-1939 in European History
Is a European Identity Achievable?, 2019

It is also clear that it will be affected in all areas, which are part of the integration coming from the historical context on both sides. It will only be understood once Brexit is realized. In this regional context, Brexit's internal structure of the EU is discussed in terms of how it can affect economic, political and social relations among member states. However, with the separation of the United Kingdom, which usually takes a negative attitude towards members with more integrated blocks, the European Union's potential increase or decrease in power in the global sense has been examined.

Saudi Arabia has begun to be watched with interest all over the world, especially with the moves of Mohammed Bin Salman, who was appointed as Crown Prince by King Abdulaziz, to create an innovative and open society. This study includes the economic, social and political innovations made by Muhammad bin Selman, along with the recent history.

There may be various reasons for the notion of homelessness which can cause problems because there is no general definition. However, the exactness of these reasons is uncertain. While some causes can cause homelessness, the same causes can occur if you are homeless. The effects of homelessness are mostly on the individual, and various influences can also be seen on society and the state.

It is not surprising that North Korea, which emerged after the war, transformed into the present day, especially in the Korean peninsula, which is the scene of the power struggle of superpowers after the second world war. It can be said that the power struggle at that time still continues in this region. This study periodically examined the transformation of North Korea, its leaders, and Kim Jong, one of the most important political figures for the present.

Especially after the Second World War, China has been growing rapidly and has recently started to use its soft power more effectively. Pandas are one of the most interesting ways that China, which has an unfavorable image all over the world, uses to change it. For the pandas, which were given as gifts to the countries that were considered as friendly in the past, the method of renting to the countries which were seen as friends again was chosen and this method was aimed at a different success. This achievement has not only been seen in the field of diplomacy, but as it has been studied in study, it has very different dimensions.

Tarihsel süreçte yaşananlar, tarafların birbirlerinin kırmızı çizgilerini anlamaları ve saygı duymaları ve Rusya’nın değişen Orta Doğu politikalarıyla birlikte bu ikili ilişkilerin geliştirilmesi kaçınılmaz hale dönüşmüştür. Tüm bunlarla birlikte Rusya lideri Putin ile önceki İsrail lideri Ariel Şaron ve şimdiki İsrail lideri Binyamin Netanyahu arasındaki kişisel ilişkiler de bu süreçte önemli yere sahiptir. Ayrıca güncel olaylar ışığında detaylı olarak incelenilecek nedenlerle birlikte bu iki ülke arasındaki ilişkinin giderek artacağı tahmininde bulunulabilir.

There are many reasons underlying this bilateral relationship that develops and progresses in the form of ‘mutual understanding’. Those who have lived in the historical process have become inevitable to develop understanding of the red lines of each other, and to develop these bilateral relations with Russia’s changing Middle East policies. All together, personal relations between Russian leader Putin and former Israeli leader Ariel Sharon and current Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu are also important in this process. It can also be predicted that the relationship between these two countries will increase with the reasons that can be examined in detail in the light of current events.

What are the sanctions? What Turkey do about their citizens who live abroad? Is Turkey using long-distance nationalism or isn't?

An enlarged and updated edition will be completed in 2018.
So, if you are a Cold War history scholar in any country and would like us to incude all of your publications on the Cold War (published after 1989) in the second edition, we will gladly do that. Please, send us a list of your works in which books and articles/book chapters are separated and follow the format of our bibliography. The titles of non-English language entries should be translated into English in square brackets. Please, send the list to: coordinator@coldwar.hu
