The Istanbul Aydın University, aiming to train competent graduates in the field of Political Science and International Relations (English), focusing on the historical phases of the international system, its economic, political, and legal structure, the functioning of the system, and the relationships among states shaping the international system, featured a successful and visionary Political Scientist, UPA founder Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ozan Örmeci, and a world-traveler economist and educator, Cigdem Yorgancioglu, who completed the first semester of her third university (Istanbul University) in Political Science and International Relations years after graduating from Boğaziçi University with dual major programs from the Faculty of Administrative Sciences.
They conducted an interview at CHI CI Talks on the 2023-2024 Turkey Elections and Near-Term Politics on a global scale, held at Istanbul Aydın University’s Florya Campus. Firstly, it’s essential to provide some information about the CHI CI TALKS interview program attended by Cigdem Yorgancioglu, where they discussed local and global evaluations related to the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Turkey, coinciding with the presidential and parliamentary elections and the 2024 local elections. This brief guide is crucial for understanding the inclusivity of the program:

CHI CI TALKS Interviews, Manifesto.
Cigdem Yorgancioglu Chi Ci Talks Diplomat, Technocrat, Scientist, Bureaucrat, Legal Professional, Academician, Professionals, Licensed Athletes, Artists, Thought Leaders, Innovators, Social Responsibility Project Professionals, Successful Leaders, and Businesspeople recognized as experts in their fields and working multidisciplinarily, keeping the spirit of curiosity, lifelong learning, and openness to new experiences alive, conducting interviews with valuable individuals and representatives of institutions who contribute value to society. The interviews adopt an approach that is completely free from negative, conflicting, and othering attitudes towards individuals and entities of any kind, emphasizing neutrality, transparency, independence, and a constructive critical thinking style without excluding a friendly, courteous, and sincere approach. Chi Ci Talks is a interview format that values the contributions of all parties, focusing on qualities and contributions while staying away from improvised, biased, or superficial approaches.

Although Chi Ci Talks is sometimes mistakenly expressed and labeled as an interview, it is essentially a concept that has no real connection with the audience, based on prepared and memorized questions to share content. The improvisational skill in the broadcasts comes from a qualified and labor-intensive research, reading, and understanding of the person’s areas of expertise by the anchor when sitting across from them. To respect the valuable time of both the host and the guest, clichéd questions or guiding intervention-style queries are not presented to the guest. Concept interview series can be referred to with names related to specific topics, such as Ci-Cademic (Academic interviews) Talks, Politi-Chi Talks (Politics), Chi-conomic Talks (Economy, Finance, Money, Banking, Economic Theories), Art-Chi Talks (Art), Ener-Chi Talks (Energy), Technolo-Chi Talks (Technology), and so on.
With a sustainable living approach and successful practices, “Cigdem Yorgancioglu Chi Ci Talks” aims to increase the knowledge and awareness level of all segments of society without neglecting to bring together appropriate axes. It also aims to support positive and lasting behavior changes in individuals, sensitive to the fields of social responsibility projects, and to inspire a quality, fair, efficient, conscientious, peaceful, and value-producing life. Additionally, it seeks to create space for the development of efficient projects that can contribute value to society through new scientific studies and/or projects, without missing the goal of bringing together all segments of society along appropriate axes.

Cigdem Yorgancioglu’s ChiCi Talks interviews aim to contribute to dialogues in creating environments where the cultural and professional backgrounds and talents of guests who add value to society can be revealed, and those interested in collaborating on projects can find inspiration. The platform draws its inspiration from Cigdem Yorgancioglu’s CLC 360 Education methodology.
ChiCi Talks, when inviting guests for interviews, develops methods that allow these valuable individuals to promote themselves within the limits of possibilities, without expecting any personal gain or benefit from the guest. Not accepting any financial compensation is one of its fundamental principles.
Furthermore, public video recordings and live social media broadcasts of ChiCi Talks are made with the consent of the participants (TTP) who actively join the broadcasts. Information security regarding any events or incidents in schools, institutions, or locations where the broadcast takes place, beyond the information conveyed during the preparation of posters, is another area that Cigdem Yorgancioglu ChiCi Talks pays careful attention to and exercises diligence.
During the broadcasts, the topics discussed have the potential to contribute to each expert creating a new database in their field in terms of knowledge, ideas, and even sparking new ideas. The guests in the broadcasts can perform their own PR without disrupting the integrity of the interview, sharing their ideas with their surroundings and respecting the ethical and diligence obligations in their social media presence to carve out a space for themselves in their expertise. Context and visual integrity are fundamental principles of the broadcasts.
In live/rebroadcasts, the platform adheres to the fundamental principles of national security, public order, public safety, the fundamental qualities of the Republic, and the protection of the indivisible integrity of the State with its country and people. It ensures the prevention of crimes, punishment of criminals, non-disclosure of information specified as state secrets, and the protection of the reputation of both the guests and any third parties mentioned in the broadcast. The use of a language of peace and constructive criticism is essential in Cigdem Yorgancioglu ChiCi Talks interviews.

WHAT WAS MENTIONED DURING THE BROADCAST?
The topics discussed in Dr. Örmeci’s new book, “2023 Turkish Elections In All Aspects,” published by Peterlang Publishing, touch on issues that shed light on the future of politics. The book reflects different perspectives in a manner that could serve as a textbook not only for university students but also for various political leadership academies. In addition to the topics covered in the book, some excerpts from the conversation include discussions on global-scale new collaborations and economic development opportunities, security policies, counter-terrorism, inflation, devaluation, geopolitical tensions, new regional alliances, power and opposition media discourse differences in the 2023-2024 Turkish Elections (Presidential and Parliamentary Elections, Local Elections), global uncertainties, touches on the current global and Turkish agenda, upcoming local elections, echoes of the expansion of the BRICS bloc with new countries joining (Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates), transformations and differences in perceptions towards leaders opposing autocracy and democracy worldwide, new developments in the global supply chain, the start of the election season in the U.S. and the possibility of the return of Trump, polarization policies, post-covid, post-earthquake, and the effects created locally and globally after the Ukraine war on Turkey-U.S. relations and Turkish foreign policy.
Some areas touched upon in the conversation include determining factors in global polarization, areas related to the Cyprus issue, the dominant situation of right-wing governments in Turkey except for a few periods since the Republic era, the realities, dilemmas, and dynamics of the academic world, strong dynamic areas of universities in Turkey, and promising aspects that need to be developed. The conversation also covers the paths that can be opened up for academics who produce more, the necessity of urban transformation and preserving history, and issues related to the Republic’s centennial.
In addition to the above, some remarks from Cigdem Yorgancioglu about CLC 360 Chi Lange Challenge’s lifelong education-teaching and learning methodology will be relevant. This includes comments on the working methods of academic institutions and actors in higher education aimed at raising competitiveness in the globalization process, the contribution of educational models in creating regional research centers, current working models in research and development, hosting high-level comprehensive, and well-budgeted projects within academic organizations and their contributions to national economies, areas of developing global higher education and geopolitical and economic relationship developments, the impact of student researcher and faculty mobility on cultural diversity, contributions of education-teaching, research-development on a societal scale, and the ways to measure these effects along with the transformation of measurement methods with digital transformation. The remarks also discuss the evolution of curriculum development in the new century, the construction of rote-free education, the importance of internationalization in the effort to create an information society, and the relationships of transnational higher education with brain drain, the international campus model, and Yorgancioglu’s paradigm-shifting learning models under CLC 360 – Chi Lange Challenge 360, emphasizing how learning can occur from scattered information, how excitement and permanence can be maintained in memory, and how flexible thinking can accelerate fluidity without getting stuck in material patterns.
