At HSE University–St Petersburg, Experts Discuss How AI Changes Tourist Routes and Cultural Heritage
Neural networks are no longer simple travel assistants; now they decide what to include on the route and what to skip. Artificial intelligence changes how people perceive a place and shapes the image of tourist centres. At the II International Scientific and Practical Conference ’Information Technologies in the Preservation and Promotion of Cultural Heritage,’ researchers discussed who controls algorithmic solutions and in what ways, and whether authentic traditions get lost in them.

The Role of the “Middle Powers” in Shaping the New International System: The Case of Türkiye

Ch. 15. P. 351–370.
Kuliyeva N.

Within the new multipolar international system the role of non-Western centers of power increased dramatically. The middle powers began to undergo a new stage of transformation of behavior and positioning within the international system. Against this background, Turkey began to position itself as a “transregional” power. This status of Türkiye is manifested in the spread of influence in three priority areas: Islamic, post-Ottoman and Turkic/post-Soviet. The purpose of this chapter is to examine the evolution of Türkiye's international positioning and to justify the place that it is striving for within the modern international system during the period of the Justice and Development Party (JDP) in power. An excessively ambitious foreign policy for a middle power can be considered untenable due to a number of systemic and internal factors. However, although Türkiye's attempts to change its international status are not sufficient to achieve the status of a global power, they create the basis for reconsidering the approach to Türkiye as a middle power.

Эта линия направлена на получение вполне определенных материальных, финансовых «дивидендов», в том числе и в виде контроля за полезными ископаемыми вне рамок «очевидной», признаваемой другими сторонами турецкой юрисдикции.  Наиболее четко этот курс проявляется в отношении Ливии.
