Turkey is a country that is highly preferred by tourists due to its geographical location, nature, historical beauties and food culture. Street foods can be affected by factors such as geographical location, mode of production, historical development, economic, cultural relations, belief and ethnic status.

It has been observed that some businesses use street foods as the main theme in restaurant design and menu planning.

This study analyses the early years of cooperation between Türkiye and the United States (US) in the field of security and defence by utilising US government documents and the secondary sources that heavily depend on primary sources. It emphasizes the link between the elements of the strategic context in which the US developed its approach to the defence of the Middle East and the American interest
in developing defence ties with Türkiye. The major outcomes of Turkish-American cooperation were American support for Türkiye against the Soviet Union in 1946, the provision of American military assistance in 1947, the modernization of the Turkish military, the construction of military bases on Turkish territory, American support for Turkish membership in NATO and Turkish willingness to conduct its
relations with the Middle East in coordination with the West. This study reveals that those outcomes reflected for the most time American political and strategic preferences. For this reason, the typical characteristics of those relations between great powers and small states can be observed in Turkish-American security relations during their formative years.

A developmental state is both a theoretical construct and a description of the political economy of certain nations, primarily in East Asia, over a specified time period. Theoretically, a developmental state is a particular type of state with a high degree of autonomy and solid institutional competence, allowing it to undertake a series of effective state-interventionist policies in pursuit of developmental objectives. Statism and state autonomy underpin the conceptual framework of the developmental state. The developmental state defied the neoclassical orthodoxy in development economics. Despite lacking the attributes of the mainstream neoclassical consensus in development economics and facing an uphill battle from such institutions, developmental states in various regions of the world have achieved high levels of economic growth. This study seeks to investigate the developmental state trajectories of Mauritius in relation to vital elements of developmental states. In an effort to do so, this study poses the following question: "What accounts for Mauritius' development state success in Africa?". By looking at the link between institutional building and economic performance, the study finds that Mauritius has replicated key developmental state institutions, including embedded and autonomous bureaucracy, making it one of Africa's most successful developmental states.

The Westphalian system refers to the shifting of the supreme political authority from medieval practices to modern sovereign states and related concepts such as sovereignty, non-intervention, and international law. While the system has shaped the Western political environment since 1648, it has in fact not been validated for the rest of the world. In this paper, the idea that the Westphalian system has not opened a new avenue in the discipline of International Relations is exemplified by the case of the British occupation of the Mosul Vilayet. Contrary to the terms of the Mudros Armistice and Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points, the British illegally occupied Mosul. The occupation was a clear violation of the Westphalian principles and thus the British mandate regime encountered resistance from both the Ottoman Empire and further the Republic of Türkiye. Despite all resistance, Mosul was ceded to the Iraqi government under the British mandate after the war.

Georgia's inclusion in the agenda of international relations can be assessed from various angles. To properly understand the current situation in Georgia, it is necessary to first assess its knowledge of geopolitics, geoculture and geoeconomics. This study analyzes the political situation in the South Caucasus at the beginning of the XXI century, the process of bilateral and multilateral integration of the region's states and the conditions necessary for the implementation of this process, the place and importance of the region in the "New Great Game". The article also examines the difficult issues in the South Caucasus, the Turkish-Russian competition in the face of promising potential, and the place and importance of this competition in their regional policy. The results of the Azerbaijani-Armenian war were analyzed in the regional policy of Turkey and Russia. The article aims to explain the dynamics and development of the region, where, in addition to global actors, there is serious competition, including the countries of the region.
